Chapter 2 first situates Errors of the Three Religions within the apologetic genre of Christian writings, tracing the history of Christian apologetics and catechism in Asia; Christian apologetics serves either a positive function of defending Church teachings or a negative role of critiquing alternate religions. Then the chapter introduces the text, including the genre, history of composition, structure, content, audience, and authorship of Errors of the Three Religions—making the case that the author is Hilario Costa—as well as its relationship to other Christian texts in Vietnam at that time, such as Matteo Ricci’s and Alexandre de Rhodes’s catechisms.
