What was C.H. Spurgeon’s opinion of Roman Catholicism? This attractive collection of his writings from his autobiography and The Sword and the Trowel is the answer. This anthology of Spurgeon’s writings on Rome includes detailed observations of Romanism from his travels, as well as the topical issues he addressed in his monthly magazine. Whether it be the Anglican movement toward Rome, the Inquisitions, Papal Infallibility, the exaltation of Mary, or the testimony of nature against Roman Catholicism, this 200 page book contains Spurgeon’s opinion of it. Accompanied by the original illustrations and woodcarvings, Geese in their Hoods is a must for anyone who loves Spurgeon’s writings and the charming candor with which he countered the advances of Romanism in 19th century England.
