Theological Repository

The Theological Repository was a periodical founded and edited from 1769 to 1771 by the eighteenth-century British polymath Joseph Priestley.

Although ostensibly committed to the open and rational inquiry of theological questions, the journal became a mouthpiece for Dissenting, particularly Unitarian and Arian, doctrines.

Priestley promised to print all viewpoints, but only like-minded authors ever submitted articles.

After only a few years, due to a lack of funds, he was forced to cease publishing the journal.

[2] Joseph Johnson, Priestley's close friend and publisher, was responsible for issuing the journal.
