Discussions on Church Principles: Popish, Erastian, and Presbyterian (Classic Reprint)

The first five chapters, selected from articles contri buted by Dr Cunningham to the North British Review, are mainly occupied with a consideration of some of the leading principles in the Church system of Romanism, beginning with the foundation which these principles find in fallen human nature, and the support which they have sought in the modern doctrine of development; proceed ing to examine their progress and full embodiment in the place and influence acquired by the Popes as temporal princes during the Middle Ages, and more especially in the supreme and universal jurisdiction in temporal or civil matters claimed by them as the result of their spiritual authority; and finally discussing the Opposition that has been raised, more or less, within the Church of Rome itself to this latter claim, by the assertors of what have been called the Liberties of the Gallican Church.
