Synopsis

A Creed Founded On Truth And Common Sense: With Some Strictures On The Origin Of Our Ideas, The Primary Design Of The Decalogue, The Light, Law, And Religion Of Nature, Natural Conscience And The Moral Sense. With A Letter To His Grace The Abp. Of Canterbury, And An Appendix To The Rev. Dr. Foster by John Dove presents a polemical treatise from an early modern writer who argues for a rational, Revelation-centered approach to knowledge and morality. The work challenges the notion that human reason alone, or a so-called natural religion, can fully account for truth and ethical life. Dove insists that genuine understanding comes through study of the Hebrew Scriptures and the revealed Word of God, and that conceptual tools like the “Law of Nature” and the so?called “moral sense” are inadequate without scriptural grounding. He defends the Triune God as disclosed in Scripture, critiques modern attempts to separate faith from reason, and urges an examination of original records to overcome objections to Christianity. The text includes a Preface, a Letter to the Archbishop of Canterbury, and an Appendix addressing Dr. Foster, all aimed at promoting a Biblical, reconciled view of faith, reason, and ethics.
