Excerpt from The History of the Reformation in Europe: With a Chronology of the Reformation But at this era a very considerable departure fi om apostolic purity was discernible. Instead of regarding the inspired writings as the sole depo sitory of truth, professing christians had acted as though the Bible were only one of the sources of religious knowledge.
