IMG:content-1474.png:[blocks in formation] Church Hist.: The doctrine which teaches that there are three Gods, instead of three Persons in the Godhead. According to Cyril of Jerusalem this teaching was introduced by the Gnostics in the second century. In the sixth century a philosophic doctrine of Tritheism was formulated by Ascus nages, of Constantinople, who was banished for his heresy by Just in i an. The opinions of Ascusnages were adopted by one of his pupils, Philoponus, who founded a sect called after him. With Philoponus was a ociated for many years a bishop of Tarsus, named Conon, who differed from his friend on the subject of the resurrection, and like him founded a sect, the Cononites. Tritheism was revived by Ros- cell in us, in the eleventh century, who taught that the name God was the abstract idea of a genus con- taining the three Persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. He was opposed by St. Anselm in his treatise de Fide Trin it at is , and condemned by the Council of So is sons (A. D. 1092), where he recanted. In 1691 the heresy was again revived. Dr. Sherlock, Dean of St. Paul's, London, published A Vindication of the Doctrine of the Holy and Ever ble ed Trinity , in which he maintained that "there are three infinite distinct minds and substances in the Trinity," and that "the Three Persons in the Trinity are three distinct infinite minds or sub- stances." Dr. South opposed the dean, and a long controversy ensued. In 1695, in a sermon before the University of Oxford, England, the preacher main tained the theory of Dr. Sherlock, which was con- demned by the heads of houses as "false, impious, and heretical." A controversy followed of so serious a character that it was suppre ed by an Order in Council, and measures were taken to stop the pub- lication of Antitrinitarian books, which had been i ued in great numbers during the controversy.
