5. WHAT IS THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO SPIRITISM
 The Gospel according to Spiritism is the third of the five books that comprise the Spiritist
Codification
 It’s a compilation of teachings transmitted by high order spirits (the Spirits) about the
Gospels
 Organized and commented on by Allan Kardec

Spirits as our Guide and Role Model – Question 625)
 Providing a roof under which followers of all religions – even those who profess no
religion at all – can gather, for it offers a sure guide for our inner reform, which, according
to Christ, is indispensable for us to find future happiness and inner peace.

6. THE AUTHORITY OF THE SPIRITIST DOCTRINE
Universal Test of the Spirits’ Teachings:
“The only true guarantee for spirits’ teachings is in the overall
agreement amongst revelations made spontaneously through a large
number of mediums unknown to one other and in several places.”

7. THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS WORK
The subject matter contained in the Gospels may be divided into five parts:
• the ordinary events in the life of Christ,
• the miracles,
• the prophecies,
• the words that served for establishing the dogmas of the Church
• the moral teachings.

Although the first four have
been the object of controversy, the
last has remained unquestionable.

8. INTRODUCTION
Before this divine code, disbelief itself bows down; it is the ground
upon which all sects can meet; the banner under which all may take
shelter, whatever their beliefs may be, for it has never been the
object of religious dispute, which has always and in all places
originated from matters of dogma

Shall Obtain
Mercy
The
Merciful
Be reconciled as quickly as possible with your adversary, while
you are with him on the way so that he does not hand you over
to the judge, and so that the judge does not hand your over to the
Minister of Justice, so that you may not be imprisoned.
Verily, I say to you that you will not leave there as long as you
have not paid the last farthing.
(Mt. 5:25-26)

13. THE GREATEST COMMANDMENT
You shall love the Lord your God with all your
heart, with all your soul and with all your
mind; this is the greatest and first
commandment. And this is the second, which is
similar to it: You shall love your neighbor
as yourself. All the law and the prophets are
contained in these two commandments.”
(Mt. 22:34-40) 13
