Overview

This work is concerned with anti-Catholic bias in Protestantism. It aims to show that the special concepts of salvation in Protestantism actually arose from Catholic ideas, and that these same concepts became distorted or one-sided as Protestantism sought to negate their orthodox Catholic opponents. Among the doctrines discussed are the following: justification by faith; assurance of salvation; imputation of righteousness; covenant theology; penal substitution; limited atonement; and supralapsarianism.
