"The Fatal Falsehood" by Hannah More is a poignant tale that delves into the consequences of deceit and the pursuit of virtue. Set in a moralistic landscape, the play follows the story of families torn apart by a web of lies and deceit. At its core is the character of Father Benedict, a nobleman who seeks to protect his daughter, Eulalia, from the truth about her parentage. In doing so, he weaves a complex web of deception that ultimately leads to tragedy. As the narrative unfolds, themes of honor, duty, and redemption come to the forefront. Characters grapple with the consequences of their actions and struggle to reconcile their past mistakes with their desire for a better future. Through the lens of their experiences, More explores the transformative power of truth and the importance of integrity in the face of adversity.

This is a tragedy in 5 Acts set in nineteenth-century Britain. It is written in blank verse and is set in England. The play opens with an encounter between Earl Guildford and Bertrand his nephew who, in a soliloquy just before Guildford's entrance, has told the audience of his dislike of Guidford's son Rivers. It appears there will be trouble between these young men and Guildford's two daughters, one of whom is adopted.

"For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciv- iousness (license for sin), and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ." Jude 4 Could there possibly exist a deadly doctrine so widespread in Christendom that those who don't teach it are actually considered by many to be "unorthodox"? Are some so apostate in this late hour that they call this brazen false teaching "orthodox Christianity?" Not only did Christ nor His apostles teach such a doctrine (Lie of the Ages), they actually identified this exact teaching as heretical and warned that those who teach it are "ungodly men...denying the only LORD God, and our LORD Jesus Christ." Could the Holy Spirit have been warning the Church here through Jude of the severe danger of believing the first lie ever told to mankind and the prevalent nature and impending danger of this Lie of the Ages? Would it intrigue you to discover the original lie told by the sworn enemy of all souls whom the Son of God stated is the father of all lies? (John 8:44) Here are some of the questions that will be irrefutably answered with biblical clarity in this landmark volume: Exactly what lie is this Lie of the Ages and what damage has it caused and is it causing? Are millions of people within Christendom being taught this same deadly lie and told it is biblical? Is this lie endangering the eternal souls of those who have embraced it? Are you living the Lie of the Ages? How secure is the born again believer in Christ? Are many of our leaders changing the truth of God into a lie while turning the grace of God into a license to sin? Is the authentic believer unconditionally eternally secure and certain for Heaven, even if he lives in sin and open rebellion after being saved? What does God require of men to be saved from eternal damnation and secure for eternal glory? What did the prophets, Christ, and His apostles say concerning this teaching? Are those who have been born again and are now backslidden promised eternal life (Heaven) even if they do not repent before dying? Can the true disciple possess deep assurance and be safe, sound, & secure in the Savior of Scripture? Discover the answers to these and many more intriguing questions in this bold and enlightening look into one of history's most impassioned controversies.
