Popery Truly Stated, and Briefly Confuted: In Three Parts (1727)
Joseph Trapp
""Popery Truly Stated, And Briefly Confuted: In Three Parts"" is a book written by Joseph Trapp and published in 1727. The book is a detailed analysis of the doctrines and practices of the Roman Catholic Church, commonly referred to as ""Popery"" by Protestants. The book is divided into three parts. The first part provides an overview of the history of the Roman Catholic Church, its hierarchy, and its doctrines. Trapp explains the origins of the Church, its teachings on salvation, the role of the Pope, the use of sacraments, and other key aspects of Catholicism. The second part of the book is devoted to a critique of the Catholic Church's doctrines and practices. Trapp argues that many of the Church's teachings are not supported by the Bible and are in fact contrary to it. He also criticizes the Church's use of images and the veneration of saints, which he sees as idolatrous. The third part of the book is a defense of Protestantism and a call to Catholics to abandon their beliefs and convert to Protestantism. Trapp argues that the Protestant faith is based on the Bible alone and that it offers a more direct path to salvation than the Catholic Church. Overall, ""Popery Truly Stated, And Briefly Confuted: In Three Parts"" is a comprehensive critique of the Roman Catholic Church and a defense of Protestantism. It provides a detailed analysis of the key doctrines and practices of the Catholic Church and argues that they are not supported by the Bible. The book is an important historical document that sheds light on the religious debates of the 18th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
