Some Older Protestant Responses to Catholicism That I Recently Read

 

The following responses to Catholicism are older and therefore less relevant and less sophisticated than modern Protestant responses. Nevertheless, they are interesting as historical glimpses as to what Protestants and Catholics believed about each other back then and the polemics used back then. I recently read them and found them profitable and encouraging. They help confirm my Protestant convictions that Catholicism is false and an incoherent ahistorical system.

 They are all freely available online:

Trent Horn's Straw-Man Misrepresentation of Protestantism

 

The following video also has relevance with regard to the criticism that some Christians have made regarding John Piper's views on final justification. I tend to side with Piper in the controversy. The video highlights some of the facts I would cite as reasons for why I side with Piper rather than his critics.
