A rigorous, accessible critique of the Roman Catholic Church, drawn from primary sources, to illuminate its doctrines and rites.

This edition surveys the Church of Rome’s key beliefs, worship practices, and church governance through a careful review of official decrees and councils. It presents the author’s examination of how these elements compare with the teachings of the Bible and with Reformed principles, aiming to clarify what is taught as necessary for salvation.

Learn how the book distinguishes doctrinal statements from popular explanations and why that matters for understanding faith.
Explore the author’s method for quoting bulls, decrees, and councils to support his conclusions.
See comparisons drawn between Catholic practices and Protestant or Reformation-era perspectives.
Understand the historical concerns and questions that motivated a modern, critical look at Rome’s traditions.

Ideal for readers seeking a historically grounded, documentary-style investigation of Catholic doctrine and ceremonial observances, and for those comparing faith traditions.
