The History Of The Popish Transubstantiation (1840) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781163905500)

The History of the Popish Transubstantiation is a book written by John Cosin in 1840. The book is a detailed account of the Catholic doctrine of transubstantiation, which is the belief that during the Eucharist, the bread and wine are transformed into the actual body and blood of Jesus Christ. Cosin, who was an Anglican bishop, wrote the book as a critique of the Catholic Church's teachings on this subject. The book provides a historical overview of the development of the doctrine of transubstantiation, tracing its origins back to the early Church Fathers and its gradual acceptance by the Catholic Church. Cosin argues that the doctrine is not supported by Scripture and that it is a departure from the teachings of the early Church.The book also includes a detailed analysis of the theological and philosophical arguments used to defend the doctrine of transubstantiation, as well as a critique of the Catholic Church's use of the doctrine as a means of asserting its authority over the faithful.Overall, The History of the Popish Transubstantiation is a comprehensive and scholarly work that provides a detailed analysis of one of the most controversial and divisive doctrines in Christian theology. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Christian doctrine and the ongoing debates between different Christian denominations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
