Synopsis
Excerpt from Thoughts on Popery
Here then we have What Paul wrote; and I cannot believe that he would write, in a letter to Timothy, that the Holy Scriptures are capable of being known by a child, and able to make Wise unto salvation, and then say, to be handed down by tradition, that they are so obscure and abstruse that one can make nothing out of them.

About the Author
William Nevins was born in Norwich, Connecticut on October 13, 1797, the youngest of the twelve children of David and Mary (Hubbard) Nevins. Possessed of an unquenchable thirst for knowledge, young Nevins entered Yale University in 1812 and graduated four years later. He was well-known for his quickness of apprehension and his witty sense of humor, the latter quality being especially evident in his writings throughout his life. It was during his time at Yale that Nevins became deeply impressed with eternal realities and resolved to enter the ministry. Immediately upon his graduation from Yale, he enrolled at Princeton Theological Seminary and completed his course of study in three years. He was licensed to preach by the New London Association and first entered the pulpit at Lisbon, Connecticut in September, 1819. He began preaching at the First Presbyterian Church in Baltimore, Maryland in August, 1820 and was installed as the minister the following October. He married Mary Lloyd of Georgetown in 1822 and the couple had five children, only three of which survived their parents. An outbreak of cholera in the city claimed the life of his wife on November 8, 1834 and his own life nearly a year later on September 14, 1835. The present volume, compiled from a series of articles which Nevins had written for the New York Observer, was published posthumously in 1836.

Thoughts on Popery (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book tackles the heated debate between Protestantism and Roman Catholicism, exploring the fundamental differences between these two branches of Christianity. The author dissects a range of Catholic doctrines and practices, exposing their lack of scriptural grounding and highlighting the potential dangers of blindly accepting traditions over the clear word of God. Through a series of compelling arguments, the book challenges the Catholic Churchââ â¢s claim of infallibility and demonstrates how its reliance on tradition undermines the authority of the Bible. The author's analysis delves into key points of contention, such as the Catholic Church's use of images in worship, the distinction between mortal and venial sin, and the veneration of saints. These critiques are presented with a clear and engaging style, making complex theological arguments accessible to a broad audience. The bookââ â¢s focus on the sufficiency of scripture as a rule of faith resonates with the Protestant Reformationââ â¢s emphasis on Sola Scriptura, a pivotal moment in Christian history that continues to shape religious thought today. The author's powerful arguments against the Catholic Churchââ â¢s practices provide a compelling and insightful look into the historical and theological tensions between these two major branches of Christianity. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
