What it is
An argument that the gospel requires belief in one article only — that Jesus is the Messiah — with repentance, and that everything else is inference.
Why it lasted
A founding text of latitudinarian and later liberal Christianity, and immediately accused of Socinianism.
Where to read it
Public domain and free to read in full, though not held here. The archives below have it.
These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
