This volume of the Scientology Religiosity? publication series has been compiled to serve as the introductory module for a larger body of materials, and covers some of the basic principles of Scientology when viewed from the perspective of being classified as a new religious movement. The enclosed subject matter reveals the teachings of L. Ron Hubbard and other promotional material from the Church of Scientology on common aspects of “salvation” that is adhered to by the more traditional faiths:
- The existence of God,
- The role of heaven and hell, and
- The eternal hope of mankind in accordance with the Scientology tenets of faith.
Sections v1.01.001 through v1.01.005 provides a brief overview of how the major principles of the Scientology system of spiritual beliefs are commonly defined to the outside world and perceived internally. Subsection 006 covers a sampling of widely touted quotations from Scientology’s ideology that are widely held to be controversial, with additional passage segments to follow in later volumes of this series.
Sections v1.01.007 through v1.01.010 provides a look at the Scientology interpretation of heaven and hell, with insights into their methodologies for overcoming the limitations of human existence as defined within strictly internal-usage materials. While subsection 011 exposes a more detailed explanation of Scientology doctrines as portrayed to the general public.
Sections v1.01.012 through v1.01.018 offers a further look at the Scientology approach to religious salvation through the teachings and alternative counseling techniques of L. Ron Hubbard, which are organized into a dual path of training and psychotherapy processes known as “The Bridge.”
This volume concludes with a vintage statement of what Scientology disciples aim to achieve with their spiritual progress up “The Bridge” in section v1.01.019. Followed by a return to the modern day reality of how the public typically perceives the opposing claims of Hubbard’s doctrines being both a science and a religion through the personal experience of an investigative journalist.

Additional recommended references for each subsection of the v1.01 materials is also included under the “Further Reading” section for a progressive continuation of studies on the topics covered herein.
