No prior complete English translation of this text has been found.
Extensive searches across major scholarly catalogs (including local catalogs, Open Library, Google Books, Internet Archive, and OpenAlex) yielded no records of an English translation for Jean de Labadie's 'A Summary of Right and True Christianity'. Given Labadie's niche status in 17th-century Pietism and the lack of any bibliographic evidence for an English version of this specific Dutch treatise, it is highly probable that no English translation exists.

Are you a Christian by birthright or by a radical, voluntary choice of the heart? Jean de Labadie’s 17th-century masterpiece strips away the veneer of nominal faith to reveal Christianity as a rigorous, lifelong 'craft' of total devotion. Discover a path that demands more than mere speculation, calling instead for a mystical union with God and a complete renunciation of a 'baptized' but deceptive world.
