Excerpt from The Principles of Protestantism: An Examination of the Doctrinal Differences Between the Protestant Churches and the Church of Rome
The chief authorities on the Protestant side are the Confessions Of the Reformed Churches; and Of these, the Augsburg Confession, the Westminster Standards, and the Articles of the Church of England, have been most frequently referred to. But particular doctrines have been illustrated from the writings, not only Of the Reformers, Luther, Melanchthon, Zwingli and Calvin, but also of prominent theologians Of modern times. As a former student of the New College, Edinburgh, I could not avoid attaching great weight to the discussions Of Protestant doctrine found in the works Of Principal W. Cunningham. He is, perhaps, the only Scottish theologian that ever thoroughly mastered this field. I can conceive nothing more helpful to students than a thorough acquaintance with his supremely able lectures.

Excerpt from The Principles of Protestantism: An Examination of the Doctrinal Differences Between the Protestant Churches and the Church of Rome
This handbook has been prepared as a companion to Dr. T. M. Lindsay's on The Reformation. The aim of that volume was to set forth the historic origin of Protestantism in Europe : the present is designed to exhibit its leading doctrines as they took shape in the Reformed Churches in opposition to those of the Church of Rome.
Strictly speaking. Protestantism has but one great principle, namely, the right of direct access to God through Christ His Son. This is its ultimate idea. Hut when it came into conflict with the views of the Roman theologians, like all fundamental ideas, it threw out branches in various directions; so that, as I have tried to show in the Introduction, it may now be said with truth that Protestantism has three master principles, leading to differences from the Church of Rome on the whole evangelic method of salvation, the word of God and the fellowship of believers.
In endeavouring to expound and illustrate these contrasts, I have, of course, used the authoritative sources of information on both sides.
The Decrees and Canons of the Council of Trent, its Catechism and the Creed of Pope Pius iv. are still acknowledged by the Church of Rome as her leading statements of doctrine. Constant reference has been made to these authorities. But it has also been found necessary for a complete view of her teaching to show how these are reflected in the expositions of eminent divines, like Bellarmin, Mohler, Perrone, and Newman.
