Roman Catholicism Volume I

This monumental 1418-page work covers twenty centuries of Christian history and offers a complete study of each of the ecumenical councils and the most important synods of antiquity.

We recommend these two volumes of the work as essential for an exhaustive, documented, and authoritative understanding of the historical and doctrinal reality of the Church of Rome.

"This book is a valuable contribution to the knowledge of truth. It is written in a clear and agile style, easy to understand and follow. This is not, however, a sign of superficiality. The author has full command of the original sources upon which he bases his history. He is also familiar with the works of modern scholars, both Roman Catholic and Protestant, from both sides of the Atlantic. Every statement, exposition, or explanation is supported by references to ancient sources and the works of modern researchers. Particularly the quotations from ancient church writers have been very well chosen and constitute one of the merits of the book.

The author's loyalty to the authority of the Old and New Testament Scriptures is constantly reflected in the work. "Councils" is an accurate contribution to the knowledge of God's revelation as set forth in the Bible, which has so often been obscured by the attitudes of men and even by ecclesiastical councils. The wide dissemination of this book would bring great benefit to the Church of Jesus Christ throughout the world" Dr. Paul Woolley, Professor of Church History at Westminster Theological Seminary, Philadelphia, United States.

"It is with gratitude and joy that we recognize the extraordinary value of the work before us, an impressive example of zeal and dedication. In the struggle for truth and freedom, persistent study and work are worth more than all ephemeral slogans...Let us congratulate the author for this achievement, obtained with the help of a rich bibliography..." Dr. H.M. Matter, Professor of New Testament at the Faculté Libre de Théologie Protestante, Aix en Provence, France.
