 A central aspect of Price’s dissension from the doctrines of the Church of England was his rejection of Trinitarianism. For the Trinitarian, the Godhead is three persons in one substance, so that Christ is fully God as well as fully man. For the Socinian, by contrast, Jesus is merely human: a supreme teacher and exemplar of how to live, but nothing more. Price takes a position between these extremes. Christ is creator and judge, who descended from heaven and became man. He is not God, but the Messiah, and is on no account to be worshipped. When it comes to Christ’s redemptive power, Price again steers a middle course between the Socinian view that Christ saves by precept and example, so that his death was not necessary to salvation, and the Calvinist claim that redemption is wholly the work of God, who saves whom he will save, and damns whom he will damn (see Romans 9:18). For Price, salvation requires the cooperation of both parties. The sinner must of his own free will repent and strive for righteousness, but God is not required to accept repentant sinners, for repentance does not wipe out the consequences of sin. God wipes out all guilt as a reward to Christ for his perfect obedience.
