Synopsis

This book posits that the core of true religion is the revealed, spiritual, and purifying law that has always existed and that it is the foundation for all legitimate religious practices and beliefs that have manifested variously in different cultures and times. The author notes that this law has three fundamental principles: belief in God; belief that humans have free will and immortal souls; and belief in a future state of rewards and punishments for one's actions. He examines the historical development of Christianity and argues that the Nicene Creed, which defined orthodox Christian belief, accurately reflects this original, universal religion through its emphasis on the Trinity, the divinity of Christ, and the importance of faith and obedience to the revealed law. The author also provides a detailed refutation of the Arian and Socinian heresies, which he sees as departing from the true, scriptural doctrine of the Trinity. Ultimately, this book offers a compelling argument for the existence of one, universal, true religion that has been revealed throughout history and finds its purest expression in the Nicene Creed.
