Synopsis

A Course Of Eight Lectures, On The Main Points Of Difference Between Roman Catholics & Protestants, By F.A. Cox And D. Katterns. This work collects eight lectures delivered in 1850 by Rev. F.A. Cox and Rev. D. Katterns at Mare Street Chapel, Hackney, presenting a Protestant critique of Roman Catholic doctrine. The series argues for the Bible as the sole rule of faith and practice, opposing Tradition, papal authority, and episcopal supremacy as unwarranted overlays on Scripture. Lecture topics cover the authority of Scripture versus tradition, the supposed primacy of Peter, and a thorough disputation against transubstantiation, the Mass, purgatory, penance, invocation of saints, and extreme unction. Throughout, the authors defend sola Scriptura, the sufficiency of Scripture, and the sufficiency of Christ for salvation, employing biblical exegesis, historical critique, and moral exhortation. The volume exemplifies 19th-century Protestant polemics against Catholic doctrine, combining scriptural argument, ecclesiastical history, and devotional exhortation to urge readers toward faith in Christ alone.
