By William John Hall

Book Overview

""The Doctrine of Purgatory and the Practice of Praying for the Dead, as Maintained by the Romish Church, Examined"" is a book written by William John Hall and published in 1843. The book is a critical examination of the Catholic Church's belief in purgatory and the practice of praying for the dead. Hall, an Anglican priest, argues that these beliefs are not supported by the Bible and are instead based on human tradition. He also criticizes the Catholic Church for using these beliefs to exploit people's fears and emotions. The book is a significant work in the history of Protestant-Catholic relations and provides insight into the theological differences between the two faiths.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
