Defend the core of Muggletonian belief with a forceful, scripture-grounded response.

This nonfiction tract presents a full, point‑by‑point defense against a critical pamphlet, arguing for a God who died in the flesh, the immortality of the soul, and the authority of a living commission to interpret Scripture. It frames theology as a battle between two seeds—faith and reason—and invites readers to weigh the evidence directly from the text.

The book lays out how its authors view truth, prophecy, and the nature of God, challenging opponents who portray their faith as mischievous. It asserts that true faith yields a life of obedience and that religious interpretation must be lived and tested in practice. Along the way, it confronts major doctrines, including the death of God, the mortality of the soul, and the resurrection, using Scripture to support its stance and to critique competing views.

Clear statements of core beliefs and how they contrast with common opposition.
Arguments that attach spiritual interpretation to a living, guiding commission.
Responses to critiques about the nature of God, Jesus, and the soul.
Historical context for a sustained religious dispute and its lasting claims.

Ideal for readers interested in religious history, late medieval and early modern polemics, and how a fringe movement defended its principles against widespread critique.
