The book aims to provide a clear defense and explanation of the key doctrines of the Catholic Church, focusing on principles that are often disputed by other Christian denominations. It reflects Gibbons’ intention to reach Protestants and offer them a comprehensive understanding of Catholic beliefs and practices. The opening of Gibbons' work sets the stage for a detailed examination of the faith through various doctrinal perspectives. He begins with a preface outlining the book's purpose, indicating it is geared towards those unfamiliar with Catholic teachings, particularly Protestants who may have misconceptions. Gibbons asserts that his aim is to clarify misunderstandings and provide a historical context for Catholic doctrine, starting with the concept of the Blessed Trinity and the significance of the Incarnation. He emphasizes the necessity for unity within the Church, illustrated through scripture and tradition, and indicates that the truths of Catholic faith can withstand scrutiny against erroneous claims often propagated by detractors. This introduction establishes a strong foundation for the arguments he will present throughout the book.
