Publisher's Synopsis
""The History of Romanism from the Earliest Corruptions of Christianity to the Present Time"" is a comprehensive and detailed account of the development of the Roman Catholic Church from its earliest days to the 19th century. Written by John Dowling, a Protestant minister, the book examines the various doctrines, practices, and institutions of the Catholic Church, as well as its interactions with other religious groups and political powers throughout history.The book begins with an overview of the early Christian Church and the factors that led to the rise of the Roman Catholic Church. It then delves into the various controversies and conflicts that have defined the Church's history, including the Great Schism, the Crusades, the Inquisition, and the Protestant Reformation.Throughout the book, Dowling is critical of the Catholic Church and its teachings, arguing that many of its doctrines and practices are not supported by the Bible or early Christian tradition. He also highlights the Church's role in political and social issues, such as its support of monarchies and opposition to democracy and religious freedom.Despite its critical perspective, ""The History of Romanism"" is a well-researched and informative account of the Catholic Church's history, and it remains a valuable resource for scholars and students of religious history.With Full Chronological Table, Analytical And Alphabetical Indexes And Glossary.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
