Synopsis

Challenging traditional views of Scripture and church authority, this work argues for a rational, reform‑minded reading of the Bible. The author surveys how conventional beliefs shape biblical interpretation and urges readers to weigh evidence, reason, and historical context when studying Holy Scripture. It also defends the English Reformation’s use of Scripture and Primitive Tradition, while critiquing Roman Catholic practices and attitudes toward reform.

The book frames the scope and value of Biblical inquiry in practical terms. It urges readers to seek truth with a clear mind, guard against preconceptions, and apply sound methods of proof to theological questions. It also discusses how prophecy, canons, and the development of doctrine have been treated in modern debates, and why a reconsideration of Rome’s permanence matters for educated readers today.


  • Clear defense of Protestant principles and the English Reformation.

  • Focused discussion on the best ways to study Scripture—authoritative text, tradition, and reason.

  • Analysis of how conventional beliefs can influence biblical interpretation.

  • Practical guidance for readers of theological history and church reform.



Ideal for readers of theological history, church reform, and biblical inquiry who want a measured, historical perspective on authority and interpretation.
