Historia
FABER, GEORGE STANLEY (1773-1854)

En su obra The Origin of Pagan Idolatry (3 volúmenes, Londres, 1816) considera que todas las naciones paganas adoraron a los mismos dioses, que eran solo hombres divinizados, lo que comenzó en Babel, representando las tríadas de dioses supremos entre los paganos a los tres hijos de Noé. También escribió sobre Arkite Egg, encontrándose algunas de sus ideas sobre ese asunto en sus conferencias Bampton. Entre sus voluminosas obras, dedicadas muchas a la profecía, se pueden mencionar: Two Sermons before the University of Oxford, an attempt to explain by recent events five of the the Seven Vials mentioned in the Revelations (1799); Horæ Mosaicæ (Oxford, 1801), conferencias Bampton, pronunciadas en 1801; A dissertation on the Mysteries of the Cabiri, or the Great Gods of Phœnicia, Samotrhace, Egypt, Troas, Greece, Italy, and Crete (2 volúmenes, 1803); Thoughts on the Calvinistic and Arminian Controversy (1803); A Dissertation on the Prophecies relative to the Great Period of 1.200 Years, the Papal and Mahomedan Apostasies, the Reign of Antichrist, and the Restoration of the Jews (2 volúmenes, 1807); A General and Connected View of the Prophecies relative to the Conversion of Judah and Israel, the Overthrow of the Confederacy in Palestine, and the Diffusion of Christianity (2 volúmenes, 1808); A Practical Treatise on the Ordinary Operation of the Holy Spirit (1813); Remarks on the Fifth Apocalyptic Vial and the Restoration of the Imperial Government of France (1815); The Origin of Pagan Idolatry ascertained from Historical Testimony and Circumstantial Evidence (3 volúmenes, 1816); A Treatise on the Genius and Object if the Patriarchal, the Levitical, and the Christian Dispensations (2 volúmenes, 1823); The Difficulties of Infidelity (1824); The Difficulties of Romanism (1826); A Treatise on the Origin of Expiatory Sacrifice (1827); The Testimony of Antiquity against the Peculiarities of the Latin Church (1828); The Sacred Calendar of Prophecy (3 volúmenes, 1828); Letters on Catholic Emancipation (1829); The Fruits of Infidelity contrasted with the Fruits of Christianity (1831); The Apostolicity of Trinitarianism, the Testimony of History in the Antiquity and to the Apostolical Inculcation of the Doctrine of the Holy Trinity (2 volúmenes, 1832); The Primitive Doctrine of Election, or an Enquiry into Scriptural Election as received in the Primitive Church of Christ (1836); The Primitive Doctrine of Justification investigated, relatively to the Definitions of the Church of Rome and the Church of England (1837); An Enquiry into the History and Theology of the Vallenses and Albigenses, as exhibiting the Perpetuity of the Sincere Church of Christ (1838); Christ's Discourse at Capernaum fatal to the Doctrine of Transubstantiation on the very Principle of Exposition adopted by the Divines of the Roman Church (1840); Eight Dissertations on Prophetical Passages of Holy Scripture bearing upon the promise of a Mighty Deliverer (2 volúmenes, 1845); Letters on Tractarian Secessions to Popery (1846); Papal Infallibility, a Letter to a Dignitary of the Church of Rome (1851); The Predicted Downfall of the Turkish Power, the Preparations for the Return of the Ten Tribes (1853); The Revival of the French Emperorship, anticipated from the Necessity of Prophecy (1852).
