Focusing on the theological debates of the early 18th century, this work explores the tensions between Deism and orthodox Christianity. Collins engages with William Whiston's defense of traditional beliefs, particularly Whiston's controversial claim about Jewish alterations to the Old Testament. Instead of mocking Whiston, Collins highlights the reliance of the New Testament on nonliteral interpretations of Old Testament prophecies regarding Jesus Christ, making a significant contribution to the discourse on scriptural interpretation and messianic fulfillment.
