The Anti-Papal Library.
ROADS FROM ROME. A Series of Personal Narratives.
The English Churchman says: "It is a timely volume a counter-blast to the somewhat boastful advertisement of perverts to Rome, issued about a year ago under the auspices of Cardinal Vaughan, entitled 'Roads to Rome.'"
The Protestant Observer says: "We cordially recommend this intensely interesting and most useful volume."
The Church Of Ireland Gazette says: "It is very effective for our controversy with Rome."
The Record says: "This is indeed an informing book."
The Protestant Churchman says: "We heartily recommend the volume. It is one which might be left on drawing-room or parlour tables to be perused by visitors."
The Life Of Faith says: "Many a bewildered soul will be mercifully guided and assisted by these testimonies."
The Church Family Newspaper says: "We commend a study of this volume to those who have been captivated by extreme ritual."
ROME IN MANY LANDS.A Survey of the Roman Catholic Church, with an account of some modern Roman developments.
The Times says: "It undertakes to give an account of Rome's distortions of Christian doctrine due to hallucinations or over-subtlety."
The British Weekly says: "The book is rich in facts, and is written from the standpoint of an impartial inquirer."
The Record says: "No more startling revelations of the present-day position of Rome in many lands has yet appeared."
The Athenæum says: "Its information is free from that inaccuracy which is often the mark of controversial works on religion."
'The Methodist Recorder says : " It is a powerful indictment of Papal Policy."
The Protestant Standard says: " It is most ably written and deeply interesting."
EVANGELICAL BELIEF: its conflict with Rome.
The Expository Times says: "It is the work of a scholar and a writer. Its subject has been hotly contested and thoroughly sifted of late; and yet Mr. Nichols is neither partisan nor stale. His exposition of 'Justification by Faith' is a theological contribution of striking value. His faith in the Evangelical religion is as strong as his grasp of its meaning. For our part this is the book we recommend not the polemical, but the expository in the present crisis."
THE HOMES AND HAUNTS OF LUTHER.Several new Illustrations are included in this Third Edition, including a reproduction of a very rare portrait of Luther by Cranach. The Reviser's notes contain a considerable amount of new material, especially in regard to Wittenberg and its historic Castle and Church.
A Striking Series of Personal Narratives.
In this volume, Mr. Isaacson has brought together a striking series of narratives detailing the conversion and spiritual history of men of various nations, in many ranks of society, and of strongly contrasted character. Some of these, like the Bishop of Durham, Prebendary Webb-Peploe, Sir Robert Anderson, and the Rev. F. S. Webster, tell their own stories. The spiritual histories of a group which includes men so varied as the Seventh Earl of Shaftesbury, Sir Arthur Blackwood, Sir Henry Havelock, Bishop Daniel Wilson, the Rev. C. H. Spurgeon, and Mr. D. L. Moody, form the contents of Part II. In Part III. we have set before us the varied paths by which men were led out of the Church of Rome, from Non-Christian religions, and from Atheism, into the faith of Jesus Christ.
The Record says: "Mr. Isaacson has done his work well, and merits our gratitude for so truly valuable and attractive a book. We would say to all Christian workers, Get it, read it, lend it, and use it in your own work. 'A blessing is in it,' and we should not be surprised if it proves to be one of the most fruitful of all the fruitful publications issued by the Religious Tract Society."
"Champions of the Truth"
Series.
1. CHAMPIONS OF THE TRUTH. short Lives of Christian Leaders in Thought and Action by various Writers.
The Academy says:—"Here are pen portraits of eighteen Evangelical teachers, beginning with Wycliffe and ending with Spurgeon. It need hardly be said, perhaps, that their eighteen biographers treat them from about the same point of view. The adifrable thing is that, though that point of view is one with which a given reader may not be so fortunate as to find himself in sympathy, it is one which has the advantage of showing the subject of the biography at his best. A very pleasant volume, and the more to be valued for the sake of its fifteen portraits."
2. HUGH LATIMER.The First Edition of this work was published by the Society in 1869, but so careful was the Author in his method and research that it still ranks as the standard life of the Great Reformer.
3. WILLIAM TINDALE.A Biography.The high estimation in which Demaus's "William Tindale" is held by students of the history of the English Bible is a proof of the sterling value of the work. Demaus wrote out of a full knowledge, and his task was a labour of love. Hence it was but natural that the book should at once become the standard authority on the subject, which it is now admitted on all hands to be.
4. JOHN WYCLIFFE AND HIS ENGLISH PRECURSORS.The Times says: "The importance of the biography cannot be over-estimated, especially as the author had the immense advantage of free and leisurely access to the valuable Wycliffe manuscripts of the Imperial Library of Vienna."
PROTESTANT PUBLICATIONS OF
THE RELIGIOUS TRACT SOCIETY.
THE WRITINGS OF ST. PATRICK. The Apostle of Ireland.
ROMAN CLAIMS AND BIBLE WARRANTS; or, "Which Way."
Miss Whately's treatise, hitherto issued under the title of "Which Way?" deals with the claims made by Roman Catholicism, and shows how they conflict with the teaching of the Word of God.
THE PAPAL ATTEMPT TO RE-CONVERT ENGLAND.
This book contrasts sharply the claims of the Roman Catholic Church to be the only true and infallible Church with its past history and teaching. It shows that judged by its fruits in the ages that are gone these claims are audacious and untrue; and that the Catholic Truth Society of to-day seeks to win over the English people by discreetly ignoring the past.
A PRIMER OF ROMAN CATHOLICISM: or, The Doctrines of the Church of Rome Briefly Examined in the Light of Scripture.
The British Weekly says: "This is a remarkably useful book."
The Saturday Review says: "Dr. Wright puts the extreme Protestant views with less than the usual malice, and more than the usual knowledge."
The Christian World says: "It is the best text-book for Protestant classes that we have seen."
THE MASS IN THE GREEK & ROMAN CHURCHES.
Dr. Wright gives in a compact form a full and clear account of the ceremony of the Mass in the Greek and Roman Churches. He shows what the different parts of the service are intended to symbolise. He contrasts it with the simple words of the New Testament, and shows how far both Churches have wandered from the true observance and meaning of the Lord's Supper.
