To English preacher Charles Spurgeon, winning souls for Christ was “that most royal employment.” This volume of his sermons focuses on that very topic.

The enduring influence of the Catholic Church has many sources, but in the first half of the 19th century, the foundations upon which the church had rested were shaken. For many people, liberalism in the guise of liberty, equality, and fraternity was the quintessence of the evils that shook those foundations. At the Vatican Council of 1869-1870, the church made an effort to set things right by defining the doctrine of papal infallibility. Author John W. O'Malley draws us into the bitter controversies over papal infallibility that at one point seemed destined to rend the church in two.

This great Victorian preacher will provide listeners with new insight into the spirit of this ecumenical tradition.

First published in 1682, this new edition is an entirely new translation of William Penn’s 2nd edition into modern English and clear syntax.
