Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the profound theological debates surrounding the nature and authority of the Church, exploring the contrasting perspectives of Catholics and Protestants during the Reformation era. The author meticulously examines the historical development of these divergent views, tracing their roots to the early Christian centuries and the challenges posed by Gnosticism and other dissenting movements. Central to the discussion is the concept of the Church as a divinely instituted and visible community, entrusted with the preservation and transmission of Christian truth. The author contrasts the Catholic belief in the Church's infallibility with the Protestant emphasis on individual conscience and the Bible as the sole source of authority. Key theological concepts such as tradition, Scripture, and the role of the clergy are dissected, revealing the complex interplay of faith, reason, and historical context in shaping religious beliefs. The book delves into the theological intricacies of various Protestant sects, including Anabaptists, Quakers, and Swedenborgians, highlighting their unique interpretations of Church doctrine and practice. By illuminating the historical and theological underpinnings of these diverse perspectives, the book offers valuable insights into the ongoing quest for religious truth and the enduring significance of the Church in human history.
