Synopsis

This book outlines the fundamental principles of the Catholic and Protestant religions, and the essential ground of separation between the two. The author argues that Protestants ultimately base all particular doctrines upon an authority vested in the Church, which, being under the guidance of God, cannot be deceived in sanctioning any revealed truth. Conversely, the Protestant rule of faith posits that Scripture alone is the rule of faith and that each person should establish the truth of their doctrines from the Bible. The author examines the difficulty of applying the Protestant rule of faith and the process of reasoning whereby a Protestant can reach the conclusion that the Bible is the word of God. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the differences between Catholicism and Protestantism and the underlying principles of each faith.
