This intriguing letter, penned by John Shute Barrington, engages with a key theological question of the 18th century: did Jesus Christ possess a human soul? Barrington's discussion draws on a wide range of texts, from the Bible to the works of the Church Fathers, and offers a unique insight into the intellectual and religious debates of his time. Nathaniel Lardner's thoughtful annotations provide valuable context and historical background.
