Excerpt from The Papal Claims Considered in the Light of Scripture and History
The question of the Papal Claims is essentially a Biblical and an historical question; and there is some danger at present of this simple and obvious truth being forgotten, and the controversy being diverted into all kinds of byways. It has not been thought safe to ignore some of the arguments now commonly brought forward by Roman controversialists, however little importance they may appear to possess; but it has been the object of the writer to keep the main question in view throughout and to treat it as such.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the question of papal claims and the historical and Scriptural evidence upon which they are based. It begins by establishing that the question of the Papal claims is essentially a Biblical and historical question. It then discusses the Roman argument that those who believe in one Catholic Church can find that Church only in the Roman Communion. The author examines the interpretation of the Gospel texts and finds them wanting in their support of the Papal claims. The book goes on to examine the position of St. Peter in the Gospels and in the Church in relation to the other apostles, finding no evidence of a Petrine or Papal supremacy. Finally, it considers the question of the Catholic faith and how it is related to the Papal claims, arguing that the Catholic faith is not dependent on the authority of the Pope. Throughout, the author provides critical analysis of the arguments presented in support of the Papal claims, and concludes that they are not supported by Scripture or the primitive Church.
