Preface to the REAL 1582 Rheims New Testament (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781312462779)

This is the preface of the Rheims New Testament of 1582. The King James was published in 1611 so the Rheims was 29 years earlier than it. When the Editor purchased a photocopy of the REAL Rheims in the 1980s He was astounded that the Preface and the Annotations answered the objections to Catholicism that he had learned as a Protestant young man and during Seminary. The Preface gives a true history of the Vulgate and English Bible and answers questions that the "Reformers" and their followers still vex Catholics with to this day. Most mangle the scriptures, create straw men arguments or otherwise use false arguments to convince the unlearned to follow their errors. The Rheims New Testament was published in 1582 to provide Catholics with an authentic translation of Holy Scriptures for their use rather than the polemical ones published in England at that time by Anglicans and Puritans. The Douay Rheims Bible was considered so dangerous to Anglicanism that it was a death sentence to be found with a copy.
