The Claims of Rome is a historical and theological examination of the Roman Catholic Church's claims to authority and supremacy over all other Christian denominations. Written by Samuel Smith and originally published in 1897, the book explores the development of Catholic doctrine and practices, including the papacy, the sacraments, and the role of tradition in the Church's teachings. Smith also critiques the Catholic Church's claims to infallibility and its treatment of dissenters and non-Catholics. The book provides a critical analysis of the Catholic Church's claims and offers a Protestant perspective on the issues at hand. The Claims of Rome remains a relevant and insightful work for those interested in the history of Christianity and the ongoing debates between Catholic and Protestant theologians.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
