ABSTRACT

God's law was the 'Law of Nature', which was the 'Public Good of Societies', which in turn rested on individuals being happy through believing only what they understood. In Tindal's most famous book, Christianity as Old as the Creation, he remains true to thoughts formed in the 1690s. Within Christianity as Old as the Creation, Tindal continued to show his affinity for Locke and cited him several times. Locke is employed to support arguments that no religion is true that diminishes God's honour. God intended that the biblical doctrines needed by the faithful for salvation would appear in clear terms, understandable by everyone without assistance. If God created Mankind to make them happy here, or hereafter, the Rules he gave them, must be sufficient to answer that benevolent Purpose of infinite Wisdom. God was happy and wished the same for humanity.
