Renunciation Of Popery (1833)

Renunciation of Popery is a book written by Samuel B. Smith in 1833. The book is a memoir of the author's conversion from Catholicism to Protestantism. Smith was born and raised in a Catholic family and was educated in a Catholic school. However, he began to question the teachings of the Catholic Church and eventually renounced his faith. The book is divided into three parts. The first part describes Smith's early life and education in the Catholic Church. The second part describes his doubts and questions about the Catholic faith and his eventual conversion to Protestantism. The third part discusses the differences between Catholicism and Protestantism and argues for the superiority of the latter.Throughout the book, Smith criticizes the Catholic Church and its teachings. He argues that the Church's emphasis on ritual and tradition is misguided and that salvation can only be found through faith in Jesus Christ. He also criticizes the Church's hierarchy and its treatment of the laity.Renunciation of Popery was a controversial book when it was first published, as it challenged the authority of the Catholic Church and its teachings. However, it was also popular among Protestant readers who were interested in the debate between Catholicism and Protestantism. Today, the book is considered an important historical document that sheds light on the religious debates of the early 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
