""The Burning of the Bibles"" is a historical book written by John Dowling in 1843. The book is a defense of the Protestant version of the Scriptures against the attacks of Popish apologists for the Champlain Bible Burners. The Champlain Bible Burners were a group of Catholic priests who burned copies of the Protestant Bible in Champlain, New York in 1837. Dowling's book provides a detailed account of the events leading up to the burning of the Bibles and the aftermath of the incident. He argues that the burning of the Bibles was a deliberate attempt by the Catholic Church to suppress the Protestant faith and that it was a violation of the principles of religious freedom.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of the controversy. Dowling provides a thorough analysis of the arguments put forward by the Popish apologists and refutes them with evidence from the Bible and historical sources.Overall, ""The Burning of the Bibles"" is an important historical document that sheds light on the religious tensions that existed in the United States in the 19th century. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of religion in America and the ongoing debate over religious freedom.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
