England Versus Rome: A Brief Handbook Of The Roman Catholic Controversy (1868)

""England Versus Rome: A Brief Handbook Of The Roman Catholic Controversy"" is a book written by Henry Barclay Swete and first published in 1868. The book is a comprehensive guide to the theological and historical differences between the Church of England and the Roman Catholic Church. Swete, a theologian and Anglican priest, provides a detailed analysis of the key issues that have separated the two churches throughout history, including the authority of the Pope, the doctrine of transubstantiation, and the use of icons and images in worship. The book also examines the historical context of the English Reformation and the role of figures such as Henry VIII and Thomas Cranmer in establishing the Church of England. Swete argues that the Church of England is a legitimate and separate entity from the Roman Catholic Church, with its own distinct theological and liturgical traditions. Overall, ""England Versus Rome"" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and theology of the Church of England and the Roman Catholic Church, and provides a thorough overview of the key issues that have divided these two religious traditions for centuries.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
