Book excerpt: Excerpt from Romanism in the Light of History HE history and purpose of the following essays may be brie y stated: When the famous encyclical of Pope Leo XIII. On The Reunion of Christendom was republished in the American press, it seemed fitting, as well as respectful, that Protestants should make some acknowledgment of such an appeal. Summoned by the kindly voice of the illustrious head of the Roman Church to restore unity to Christendom by submission to the sovereign spiritual authority of the Roman Pontifi, and invited to make this submission in the name of Holy Scripture, and of the ancient Fathers of the Church, I ventured to answer in an Open Letter, citing the Holy Father himself to appear at the bar of history, and justify the tremendous claim which he makes upon our consciences. The second essay in this volume is an attempt to exhibit, in a brief space, the verdict of history (which is neither Roman Catholic nor Anglican) upon all the essential points of doctrine and jurisdiction contained in the said encyclical of Pope Leo XIII. On Christian unity. My letter bore date, Feast of the Annunciation, 1897. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
