Looking for The Apologetical Narration & Antapologia

Robert Truelove · #1 (**permalink**) 05-19-2008, 04:43 PM

Does anyone know where I can find either in print or on the Web the following

The Apologetical Narration (The Dissenters in the Westminster Assembly's arguements for Independant church government and toleration)

Antapologia (the answer of the Presbyterian Majority as written by Thomas Edwards)

Any help finding these sources would be much appreciated.

You can read the Apologetical Narration online in part in this biography of William Bridge which can be purchased as well:

The Antapologia was written, I believe, by Thomas Edwards. I believe Still Water Revival Books sells a copy.

Right you are. correction made. Thanks.

Unfortunately the link you provided is for Gangaena which is a different work if I am not mistaken. Antapologia is the direct response to The Apologetical Narration.

I found a copy of The Apologeticall Narration on Amazon but I cannot find, online or in print, a copy of the refutation anywhere thus far.

The link for Thomas Edwards is simply a thread I started a while back concerning another work by the same author. I mentioned that SWRB sells the Antapologia. You can find it directly at this link:

Quote:

EDWARDS, THOMAS
Antapologia; or, a Full Answer to the Apologetical Narration of Mr. Goodwin, Mr. Nye, Mr. Simpson, Mr. Burroughs, Mr. Bridge, members of the Assembly of Divines; Wherein are Handled Many of the Controversies of These Times (1644)

Extremely scarce, this is one of the most important works answering the Independents at the Westminster Assembly. Hetherington, in his famous History of the Westminster Assembly, calls this work "the most elaborate" answer to the Independents' Apologetical Narration, "embracing every disputed or suggested topic" (p. 190). He continues, "It will scarcely be denied, by those who have carefully perused the Antapologia, that it furnishes a very ample and strong... refutation of the main positions taken up by the authors of the Apologetical Narration. No formal reply was returned by the Independents to the Antapologia" (p. 190). 307 pages.
