When Were Our Gospels Written
First Century Church by
Constantin Von Tieschendorf
“In 1844, Tischendorf made one of his greatest discoveries in the shadow of Mount Sinai— the Codex Sinaiticus, one of the oldest New Testament manuscripts, dated around AD. 360-375. In When Were Our Gospels Written? Tischendorf recounts his search and discovery of the manuscript. Based on the new information yielded by that discovery, the scholar estimates dates for the composition of the Gospels. This is a reproduction of a book published before 1923. ”

Fifty years in the Church of Rome
Church of Rome by
Charles Chiniquy
Fifty Years in the Church of Rome tells the story of a gentle and loving man who was the epitome of what a Christian should be. It is an autobiographical documentary of how Charles Chiniquy, a Catholic priest, was ridiculed, upbraided, and brought under interdiction numerous times by his fellow priests and superiors for valiantly and faithfully following Jesus’ directives in the Scriptures. He used his keen God-given intelligence and his tactful manner to press for reform from the human debauchery, corruption, and vice that many of the men-of-the-cloth had fallen into.
The Papacy

James A Wylie
“The Papacy; Its History, Dogmas, Genius, and Prospects: Being the Evangelical Alliance First Prize Essay on Popery
The new ideas had a painful conflict to maintain with the Old. The world had taken a mighty step in advance. It had accomplished a transition from the symbolic to the spiritual, – from the fables, allegories, and myths, which a false philosophy and a sensuous poetry had invented to amuse its infancy, to the clear, definite, and Spiritual ideas which Christianity had provided for the exercise of its manhood. But it seemed as if the transition was too great.
History of the Waldenses
Early Church by
James A Wylie
The Waldenses, a Christian movement of the later Middle Ages, were also known as the Waldensians or Vaudois. During the 12th century onwards, they were persecuted as heretics and endured near annihilation in the 17th century. They were outlawed, hunted, tortured, murdered, and hated by the ruling church of their day because they lived by the truth of God’s Word and did not bow to their traditions and man-made laws. They kept the light of truth burning amid the darkness of the Middle Ages. This book describes succinctly the conflicts they waged and the martyrdoms they endured in defense of their faith and their liberty.
Moravian Church History
German History by
J E Hutton
A History of the Moravian Church,’ by J. E. Hutton, offers a very broad yet detailed history of this admirable religious movement. Hutton includes the doctrinal stance of the present day Moravian church, which is indicative of the long term effect of the historical views and teachings of their founder, Count Zinzendorf. Their dedication is admirable, though their stance is a little confusing since they adhered to the Augsburg Confession (affirming both Lutheran and Anglican views) while considering themselves members of neither church. Interestingly, the Augsburg Confession denounces the Ana-Baptist theology regarding the sacraments.

Your heart will be stirred by the lives of Protestant heroes, and your mind captivated by God’s simple means to counteract the intrigues of its enemies in both church and state.
