Synopsis

This book is a treatise on Christian tradition, examining its origins, development, and reliability. The author argues that tradition is a valid source of religious knowledge, but only when it can be shown to have originated with Christ or his apostles. The author also discusses the role of the Church in preserving and interpreting tradition, and the dangers of relying on private interpretations or traditions that have been corrupted over time. Ultimately, the author encourages readers to use their own reason and judgment when evaluating tradition, and to focus on the teachings of Christ as revealed in scripture.
