DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from The Burning of the Bibles; A Defence of the Protestant Version of the Scriptures: Against the Attacks of Popish Apologists for the Champlain Bible Burners The Bible, also, gives a' detail of certain peculiarities of this enemy of God and man. It was to be the grand apostacy from the christian faith: it was to give heed to seducing spirits, false prophets, and saintly impostors, laying claims to miracles: it was to revive Demon-worship, in the worship of saints it would utter lies in hypocrisy, by palming a new religion on the world, in the name of God: it was to forbid marriage, and prohibit the use of meats, at certain seasons.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The evidence is everywhere: fundamentalist reading can stir passions and provoke violence that changes the world. Amid such present-day conflagrations, this illuminating book reminds us of the sources, and profound consequences, of Christian fundamentalism in the sixteenth century. James Simpson focuses on a critical moment in early modern England, specifically the cultural transformation that allowed common folk to read the Bible for the first time. Widely understood and accepted as the grounding moment of liberalism, this was actually, Simpson tells us, the source of fundamentalism, and of different kinds of persecutory violence. His argument overturns a widely held interpretation of sixteenth-century Protestant reading--and a crucial tenet of the liberal tradition. After exploring the heroism and achievements of sixteenth-century English Lutherans, particularly William Tyndale, Burning to Read turns to the bad news of the Lutheran Bible. Simpson outlines the dark, dynamic, yet demeaning paradoxes of Lutheran reading: its demands that readers hate the biblical text before they can love it; that they be constantly on the lookout for unreadable signs of their own salvation; that evangelical readers be prepared to repudiate friends and all tradition on the basis of their personal reading of Scripture. Such reading practice provoked violence not only against Lutheranism's stated enemies, as Simpson demonstrates; it also prompted psychological violence and permanent schism within its own adherents. The last wave of fundamentalist reading in the West provoked 150 years of violent upheaval; as we approach a second wave, this powerful book alerts us to our peril.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →With over 600 references, "Why Protestant Bibles are smaller" defends the Protestant Old Testament canon using mostly Catholic resources including the Vatican, EWTN, Catholic Answers, and quotations from contemporary Catholic authors like Gary Michuta ("Why Catholic Bibles Are Bigger"), Jimmy Akin ("The Fathers Know Best"), and Trent Horn ("Why We're Catholic"). It utilizes the New Testament to demonstrate Jesus, His disciples, and the New Testament writers espoused to the books of the Protestant Old Testament. Using Christian and Jewish sources from antiquity, such as Eusebius' The Church History, it explains why the canonical lists from early church fathers, early church councils, and the books in the Septuagint, Vulgate, Douay-Rheims, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and even Popes and Cardinals were not identical, and what Jesus, His disciples, and the first century church actually believed about the canon. It includes comments from former Catholics and Eastern Orthodox on the authority of the Protestant Old Testament. It lists nearly 300 specific phrases used in the New Testament to describe Old Testament books, which are only found in the Protestant Old Testament. It concludes with examples of errors and contradictions in the books from the Catholic Old Testament to demonstrate those "extra books" are not "God-breathed" Scripture. This book assures the reader the Protestant Bible contains the complete Inspired Christian canon, which is why Protestant Bibles are smaller.
