Publisher's Synopsis
Beacon Lights of the Reformation: Or Romanism and the Reformers is a historical account of the Protestant Reformation and the role played by the Roman Catholic Church. Written by Robert Fleming Sample, the book was first published in 1919 and has since become a classic work on the subject. The book is divided into two parts. The first part covers the history of the Roman Catholic Church from its origins to the time of the Reformation. The author discusses the development of the papacy, the role of the church in medieval Europe, and the corruption and abuses that led to the Protestant Reformation. The second part of the book focuses on the key figures of the Reformation, including Martin Luther, John Calvin, and Ulrich Zwingli. The author provides biographical information on each of these figures and examines their contributions to the Reformation. Throughout the book, Sample provides a critical analysis of the Roman Catholic Church and its teachings, as well as a defense of the Protestant Reformation. He argues that the Reformation was necessary to restore the true teachings of Christianity and to free people from the tyranny and corruption of the Roman Catholic Church. Overall, Beacon Lights of the Reformation is a comprehensive and engaging account of one of the most important periods in religious history. It provides valuable insights into the theological and political debates of the time and sheds light on the enduring legacy of the Reformation.With Introduction.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
