Publisher's Synopsis
An Apology for the Waldenses is a historical book written by Thomas Sims in 1827. The book provides a comprehensive account of the origin, orthodoxy, loyalty, and constancy of the Waldenses, a Christian movement that emerged in the 12th century in the Piedmont region of Italy. Sims presents a detailed history of the Waldenses, from their early days as a religious movement to their persecution by the Catholic Church and subsequent migration to other parts of Europe. He argues that the Waldenses were a legitimate Christian group who adhered to the true teachings of the Bible and were loyal to their faith, despite facing severe persecution and oppression. The book also provides a critical analysis of the Catholic Church's treatment of the Waldenses, highlighting the injustices they suffered at the hands of the Church. Overall, An Apology for the Waldenses is a fascinating and informative account of a little-known chapter in Christian history, and a powerful defense of the Waldensian faith.To Which Is Added, An Appeal To Several European Governments On Their Behalf.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
