A Discourse About Tradition

Many young men are struggling, in a time of moral chaos, to find the root of truth. Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy offer a broad appeal to tradition, which they claim is the root of all of their doctrine. In this concise work, Bishop Simon Patrick sets out a Protestant understanding, through an Anglican lens, of how to approach tradition, the whole of it and not merely what one church says is tradition, and some of the problems with Roman Catholicism's claims to tradition in particular. This is a modernized and Americanized version of the second edition of Bishop Patrick's 1685 work.
