| Summary |
"Sermons on the Scriptural Principles of our Protestant Church" by Edward Hoare is a religious text written in the mid-19th century. This work consists of a series of sermons that aim to articulate the foundational doctrines of the Protestant Church while addressing theological disagreements with the Roman Catholic Church. Hoare seeks to reinforce Protestant beliefs regarding the authority and sufficiency of Scripture, justification by faith, and the nature of the Eucharist, among other subjects. The opening of the work begins with a preface in which Hoare expresses his intention to publish the sermons at the request of his parishioners, recognizing their imperfection yet believing in their foundational truth. He discusses the importance of addressing the growing influence of Roman Catholic doctrine in England, arguing against the Roman interpretation of Scripture and emphasizing the necessity of the Bible as the ultimate authority in faith. The first sermon centers on the supremacy, completeness, and clarity of Scripture, portraying it as the only rule of faith and an unequivocal guide for believers. Hoare's fervent desire is for Protestant Christians to be well-versed in their faith in opposition to the perceived errors of Catholicism, highlighting his pastoral concern for the spiritual welfare of both his congregation and those entangled in differing doctrines.
