How to Understand the Plural Word "Elohim" By William Laing 1901

Catholics on the King James Version
"It is generally admitted that the Authorized Version was in almost every respect a great improvement on any of its predecessors.

The History of the Comma Johanneum (1 John 5:7-8)

Inequality in the Trinity, by Stephen Farley 1851
"The doctrine of the Trinity has never been fixed and stationary in its theory. At some times it has been the subordination-theory; at other times it has been the consubstantial theory; at other times it has been the identical-substance theory."

Interesting Quotes on John 1:1
"The author of John is expressing his belief that Jesus, the Word, was not 'the God' but 'a god.' It should not he considered unusual that a New Testament author refers to Jesus as 'a god' since he is considered to be the supernatural agent that is the decisive link between God and His creation." ~Gerald Sigal

More Interesting Quotes on John 1:1

F. C. Conybeare on the Triadic Formula at Matthew 28
Our Greek texts, not only of the Gospels, but of the Epistles as well, have been revised and interpolated by orthodox copyists. We can trace their perversions of the text in a few cases, with the aid of patristic citations and ancient versions.
