Catholicism Without Popery: An Essay to Render the Church of England a Means and a Pattern of Union to the Christian World (1699)

Catholicism Without Popery is an essay written by John Hooke and published in 1699. The book aims to promote the Church of England as a model for religious unity among Christians, without the hierarchical authority of the Pope. Hooke argues that the Church of England is uniquely positioned to bring together various factions of Christianity, including Catholics and Protestants, through its adherence to traditional Catholic doctrines and rejection of papal authority. The book is written in a persuasive and scholarly style, drawing on historical and theological sources to support its arguments. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Christianity and the role of the Church of England in religious discourse.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
