Publisher's Synopsis
A Confutation of Popery: In Three Parts is a book written by Thomas Bennet in 1728. The book is a comprehensive refutation of the doctrines and practices of the Roman Catholic Church, commonly known as Popery. The book is divided into three parts, each dealing with a different aspect of the Catholic faith.In the first part, Bennet examines the claims of the Catholic Church regarding its authority and infallibility. He argues that the Bible alone should be the ultimate authority for Christians and that the Catholic Church's claims to infallibility are unfounded.The second part of the book deals with the Catholic Church's sacraments, including baptism, confirmation, and the Eucharist. Bennet argues that these sacraments are not necessary for salvation and that the Catholic Church's teachings on them are contrary to the teachings of the Bible.The third and final part of the book deals with the Catholic Church's worship practices, including the use of images, prayers to saints, and the veneration of Mary. Bennet argues that these practices are idolatrous and contrary to the teachings of the Bible.Overall, A Confutation of Popery: In Three Parts is a comprehensive critique of the Catholic Church's teachings and practices, written from a Protestant perspective. The book remains a valuable resource for those interested in the history of the Protestant-Catholic divide and the arguments used by both sides.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
