Primer for Protestants

By James Hastings Nichols

Book Overview

A Primer for Protestants is a book written by James Hastings Nichols that provides a comprehensive guide for Protestants on the history, beliefs, and practices of their faith. The book is divided into three main sections: the first section covers the historical development of Protestantism, including the Protestant Reformation and the various denominations that have emerged since then. The second section explores the core beliefs of Protestantism, such as sola scriptura (the belief that the Bible is the sole authority for Christian faith and practice), justification by faith alone, and the priesthood of all believers. The third section delves into the practical aspects of Protestantism, such as worship, sacraments, and church governance. Throughout the book, Nichols provides clear explanations of complex theological concepts and historical events, making it accessible to both laypeople and scholars. He also offers insights into the challenges facing Protestantism today, such as declining church attendance and the rise of secularism. Overall, A Primer for Protestants is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of Protestantism, whether they are lifelong Protestants or new to the faith. It offers a thoughtful and engaging exploration of the history, beliefs, and practices of this important branch of Christianity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
