The Roman Catholic Church in History by Walter Martin: 1. Pope Peter? 2. Tradition

The first two chapters of Walter Martin's book on Roman Catholicism called, "The Roman Catholic Church in History" are here presented. Walter Martin (September 10, 1928 -- June 26, 1989), was an American Evangelical minister, author, and Christian apologist who founded the Christian Research Institute in 1960 as a para-church ministry specializing as a clearing-house of information in both general Christian apologetics and in countercult apologetics. Walter authored such works as: "Jehovah of the Watchtower," " The Rise of the Cults," "The Maze of Mormonism," "Essential Christianity: A Handbook of Basic Christian Doctrines," "The Riddle of Reincarnation," "The New Age Cult," "Walter Martin's Cults Reference Bible," the classic "The Kingdom of the Cults, " & others. Walter Martin debated the famous atheist Madalyn Murray O'Hair on national radio (to hear some of these debates go to https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL640E505B96CD6B39).

Chapter One - The Papacy, Was Peter the First Pope?

"To study the papacy is to learn a valuable lesson - to learn that when we surrender to men what we are commanded to surrender only to the Holy Spirit, spiritual tyranny and slavery results.
