The Fiend Of The Reformation Detected, Part 1: The Two Sophisms Detected (1817)

By James Gray

Book Overview

""The Fiend of the Reformation Detected, Part 1: The Two Sophisms Detected"" is a book written by James Gray and published in 1817. The book aims to expose the errors and fallacies of the Reformation movement, particularly in relation to two specific arguments or ""sophisms"". The first sophism is the claim that the Bible alone is sufficient for Christian doctrine and practice, without the need for tradition or the authority of the Church. The second sophism is the idea that salvation can be obtained solely through faith, without any need for good works or obedience to God's commandments. Gray argues that both of these ideas are contrary to the teachings of the early Church and the Bible itself, and that they have led to confusion and division within Christianity. The book is written in a scholarly and rigorous style, with extensive references to historical and theological sources. It is an important work for anyone interested in the history of Christianity and the debates surrounding the Reformation.Part Two: A Brief Review Of The Present State Of The Reformed Churches.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
