Lady Hewley Rediviva

Lady Hewley Rediviva is a book written by W. Leigh in 1837 that seeks to vindicate R. B. Bradley against Mortimer Montgomery's criticisms of the so-called improved version of the New Testament. The book is focused on the controversy surrounding the Lady Hewley case, which involved a legal dispute over the ownership of a chapel and funds left by Lady Hewley, a wealthy benefactor of nonconformist causes in the 18th century. The dispute centered on the religious beliefs of the trustees of the chapel, with Montgomery arguing that the trustees' adherence to the improved version of the New Testament made them ineligible to hold the property. Leigh's book takes issue with Montgomery's criticisms of the improved version, arguing that they are unfounded and that the version is a legitimate and valuable contribution to biblical scholarship. The book provides a detailed analysis of Montgomery's arguments and offers a robust defense of the improved version, making it a valuable resource for scholars of religious history and biblical studies.With An Appendix From The Writings Of Some Of The Most Eminent Assertors Of The Catholic Doctrine Of The Trinity In Unity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
