No one would have a clue to proper
understanding of prophetic eschatology unless first
grasping the historical record given in this most
exhaustive yet simple to read and understand
tome. Indeed, H. Gratten Guinness has portrayed
another element of Divine understanding. A must
read for anyone seeking truth in these later days,
Christian or otherwise. As it is a blessing to
read the Revelation by John of Patmos, so too this
work. Not to scorn Roman Catholics rank and
file, rather enlighten.

Although this book was written in the
19th century, it contains a goldmine of truths about
biblical prophecy. Great explanation of Daniel,
Paul, and John's descriptions of Antichrist and how
these are clearly fulfilled in the blasphemous office of
the Papacy. Great explanation of the subtle
differences between Biblical Christianity and the
counterfeit religious system known as Roman Catholicism.
The Protestant Reformers (Luther, Calvin, Wycliffe,
Tyndale, Huss, Knox, etc.) unanimously believed the
Papacy to be Antichrist, and this book will prove they
were right.

| This is
probably the best prophecy\eschatology book that can
be bought on this site. This book is extremely
rare and it's quite shocking that CBD has new
copies. Anywhere else and you'll pay over $30
for a used copy. The book itself is a look at
the Roman Catholic Church and what the Bible has to
say about it in prophecy. He demonstrates that
the Roman Pontiff (Pope) is indeed the Antichrist and
that the Roman Church is indeed Mystery Babylon.
He further looks at the history and doctrines of
Romanism and demonstrates that nearly 2000 years
Historicism was the only view held by the true
Church. I fully recommend this book to everyone
who cares at all about prophecy, eschatology, or the
issue of whether Romanism is just another confused
sect within Christendom or a satanic counter-part as
Protestants have always viewed it. |

A fantastically written book, elevating
the Absolute All Sufficiency of Christ. Excellent
documentation exposing The Holy Roman Empire and it's
role in end-time bible prophecy. Definitely
something to be cherished outside of The Word of God
Himself. While it is important to never take your
eyes off Rome and her deeds she does in the dark with
all the kings of the earth, this book will help you see
how much terror and darkness this whore who sits has
done to this earth and to God's people. Please
read this....all of you!!!!

The View of Romanism from the Early
Reformers which is Sadly not being taught anymore in the
Churches. The Evils of the Rome should Not be
Forgotten, as Many Lost their Life at the Hands of the
Vatican System. Many Interpretations of Prophecy
of Today Seem to have Changed in Favor of Rome, why is
that and are these Changes Correct ?
And Of course : Should the Churches want to Reunite with
Rome or is their Good Reasons not too? This Book
will make you See Why we Should NOT, and is a Great Help
in how to See the 1500 Year old Vatican System in
Prophecy, as the Reformers Did. Great Read worth
every Dime, God Bless.

Review from Victoria, Canada

The famous preacher and pioneer of the
Bible College movement and modern missions, H. Grattan
Guinness, is at his best in this incredible book! Buy
this book and you'll find yourelf barely able to put it
down through an exciting study of the prophecies of
Daniel, St. Paul, and St. John. And did you know
that the timing of the appearance of the Antichrist is
very clearly predicted in the Bible? In this book,
Guinness will show you what many of the Church Fathers
believed about who Antichrist would be and when he would
appear: including Iraneus, Origen, Jerome, Victorinus,
Hippolytus, and Tertullian! Even Augustine was
convinced that Rome was the Babylon of Revelation.
Gregory the Great himself nails the popes as fulfilling
the prophecies of Antichrist. If you think you can
dismiss this book, by Dr. Os Guinness'
great-grandfather, as irrelevant and out-dated, then
think again.

I must recommend Romanism and the
Reformation, by H. G. Guinness. It remains one of
the most enlightening and well-presented books I have
ever read on any subject. It is well worth reading and
re-reading, and sharing with friends. Although the first
few pages may seem tiresome to today's impatient
readers, it unfolds into a quick-moving and excellent
explanation, with passion and profound learning, of how
the Bible foretold the coming of the antichrist, and
that the antichrist is none other than the papacy of
Rome (yes, the popes, taken as a whole).
The relevant prophecies of Daniel chapter 7, 2
Thessalonians chapter 2, and the book of Revelation
(a.k.a. "the Apocalype") are shown together in an
astounding way to give us an understanding of world and
Christian history, Romanism (the Roman Catholic church),
and the Protestant Reformation of the 16th century.
Do not think that Revelation is only about the future.
It contains our past as well. This truth has been
covered or ignored in the past century. It will do good
to go back and consult some of the Bible students who
were before us.
The subject of Bible prophecy is very relevant to us
today and reaches centuries back in time. It will also
help you to understand better the events yet to come
before the return of the Lord Jesus Christ. This book is
a sparkling introduction to a deep, mysterious and
wonderful subject. I pray you will read it.
