Tracts In Controversy With Dr. Priestley Upon The Historical Question Of The Belief Of The First Ages In Our Lord�������s Divinity is a book written by Samuel Horsley in 1789. The book is a collection of tracts that Horsley wrote in response to Joseph Priestley's controversial writings on the historical belief of the early Christian church regarding the divinity of Jesus Christ.
