“Perkins wrote this book as an apologetic for Reformed (Reformation) Christianity to demonstrate that Reformed Protestantism was not a new religion, but the corrected progression of the Ancient Church.” ~from Dr. Joseph Pipa’s Introduction

Look Inside the Book

Today Christians think of the Roman Catholic church as the oldest, most ancient form of Christianity. Evangelicals are often apathetic about their Christian heritage, and see little difference between themselves and Roman Catholics. In Reformed Catholic Puritan theologian William Perkins both shows that it is possible to genuinely respect Christian tradition and to disagree with the errors of Roman Catholicism. This book is not a debate over subtle points of doctrine, but over issues that continue to divide Christians to this day. These are truths worth fighting for.

“A declaration, showing how near we may come to the present church of Rome in sundry points of religion and wherein we must forever depart from them, with an advertisement to all favorers of the Roman religion, showing that the said religion is against the catholic principles and grounds of the catechism.

I write not this despising or hating their person for their religion [Roman Catholics], but wishing unfeignedly their conversion in the world, and their salvation in the world to come.” ~ from Perkins’s A Reformed Catholic

I am still working on it. Busy summer. It has been so helpful to me. I have a Catholic brother and we are always getting into discussions. Some parts are a little too deep for me but it is still a great resource. Thank you!

One of the most valuable books I have

I'm so grateful that y'all carry this book, since my last order(s) have been gifts to people. The local church needs clarity on this matter, and this is easily one of the clearest, most accessible text to use. It also demonstrates just how graciously the Lord Jesus has given us fathers in the faith, and how much we need to heed their guidance, even from 400 years ago. Protestant Catholicity is something we must not compromise, we must clarify continuously, and we must be imitators of God in both mercy and truth, since we trust Him to be merciful and true to us.

Excellent book

I think most Christians today should read this book, it would be very helpful in a lot of ways.

This book is excellent! Perkins goes step by step through the distinctives of Protestantism from Catholicism. In doing so, those distinctives stand out very brightly as biblical truths. I've recommended this book to all of my family members.

I believe in one holy and apostolic church

Perkins powerfully argues that Protestantism is the Orthodox Church of the historic creeds and that the Roman Catholic Church is the progressive, liberal permutation of the faith once for all delivered to the saints. Perkins’ systematically walks through a myriad of theological sticking points with precision and accessibility.

Highly recommend.
