Description

Vindication Of Luther Against His Recent English Assailants (1855) is a book written by Julius Charles Hare, an English theologian and writer. The book is a defense of Martin Luther, the 16th-century German theologian and founder of the Protestant Reformation, against recent criticisms made by English theologians.Hare argues that Luther's teachings were misunderstood and misrepresented by his English critics, who accused him of promoting antinomianism (the belief that Christians are not bound by moral law) and other heresies. Hare shows that Luther's views on justification by faith alone and other theological doctrines were in line with the teachings of the early Christian church and the Bible.The book is divided into three parts. The first part provides a brief biography of Luther and an overview of his teachings. The second part addresses the specific criticisms made by Luther's English detractors, including John Henry Newman and William Palmer. Hare refutes these criticisms point by point, using quotes from Luther's own writings to demonstrate that he did not promote antinomianism or other heresies.The third part of the book is a defense of Protestantism more broadly. Hare argues that the Protestant Reformation was a necessary corrective to the corruption and abuses of the Roman Catholic Church in the 16th century. He also defends the English Reformation, which he sees as a continuation of the Protestant Reformation in England.Overall, Vindication Of Luther Against His Recent English Assailants is a well-researched and persuasive defense of Luther and the Protestant Reformation. It sheds light on the theological debates of the 19th century and provides a valuable historical perspective on the origins of Protestantism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
