The Unitarian Jared Sparks had written a "long and violent" critique of Samuel Miller's sermon, which critique was published in the Unitarian Miscellany.
The Rev. Dr. Samuel Miller sent his reply to the Unitarian Miscellany, which they refused to print.
Here then, issued as a pamphlet, is Millers defense of his sermon in which he answers the questions, Who are entitled to the sacred name of Christian? and What is the scriptural foundation of a sinner's hope toward God?
