It serves as a defense of the Christian faith and the author's beliefs amidst accusations of heresy and schism. The work aims to clarify the author’s views on essential topics concerning God, reason, and the nature of Christian doctrine, drawing on arguments that contest prevailing philosophies and address the truths of faith. The opening of the work sets a reflective and earnest tone as Savonarola begins to argue for the significance of the Cross and its triumph over human folly and worldly wisdom. He introduces the concept that visible truths can lead to an understanding of the invisible, divine realities. Savonarola employs the metaphor of a triumphal car to depict Christ as the conqueror, emphasizing the importance of His Passion and the continuity of grace through the Church's Sacraments. Through a series of rational arguments, he establishes the existence and nature of God, aiming to affirm the immortal soul of man and outline a Christian life devoted to divine contemplation and virtue. The introduction also highlights the background of Savonarola's ministry and the historical context in which he wrote, showcasing his commitment to Christianity against the backdrop of Renaissance thought.
