First published in 1750, True Religion Delineated is a seminal work of American religious theology. Written by Joseph Bellamy, a prominent Congregational minister, the book argues for a kind of Christian faith that emphasizes piety and personal virtue over doctrinal disputes and formal religious practices. Drawing on scripture and the writings of earlier theologians, Bellamy offers a persuasive vision of a religion that is both authentic and relevant to contemporary believers.
