Roman Catholicism
Outline: The widespread activity of the Roman Catholic Church makes it imperative that all Christians regardless of denomination should know something about its doctrines, its practices and its goals for the future. Dr. Boettner has written an interesting and informative book from the viewpoint of evangelical Protestantism which presents the two systems in strong contrast. The present day Roman Catholic Church is compared with the Church of the first century. And Protestantism is shown to be not a new system that arose at the time of the Reformation, as some have attempted to represent, but a return to New Testament Christianity and the simplicity of the apostolic Church. Constant reference is made to Scripture teaching, and the material is presented in non-technical language that the average Christian can follow with ease. Some of the major subjects discussed are: The Church, The Priesthood, Tradition, Peter, The Papacy, Mary, The Mass, The Confessional, Purgatory, the Infallibility of the Pope, Penance, Indulgences, Salvation by Grace, Ritualism, Celibacy, Marriage, the Parochial School, Contrasting Moral Standards, Intolerance and Religious Persecution, Historical Aspects and the relationship of Church and State are also dealt with. Designed to be a standard work on the subject, this book undoubtedly will live for years as the most comprehensive and penetrating analysis available of the two systems. It is an Evangelical Book Club selection.
