In a day when many seek refuge in the appearance of tradition without testing the roots of truth, The Novelty of Popery: Opposed to the Antiquity of True Christianity by Peter Du Moulin stands as a prophetic voice from the past—clarifying that the true faith is not found in Rome’s gilded additions but in the ancient simplicity of apostolic doctrine. Originally penned during the height of Reformation polemics, this masterwork boldly confronts the claims of Roman Catholic supremacy and authority, not with fiery rhetoric alone, but with careful biblical and historical argumentation.

Du Moulin's thesis is simple yet devastating: the innovations of the Roman Church—whether in ecclesiastical supremacy, sacramental theology, or liturgical practice—are not the faithful preservation of apostolic tradition, but accretions layered centuries after the fact. He builds his case by thoroughly examining Scripture, the Church Fathers, and the actual testimony of history, showing again and again that Rome’s claims of antiquity are, in truth, modern novelties cloaked in borrowed authority.

From the sufficiency of Scripture and the invisibility of the true Church to the fabricated claims of Petrine primacy and papal infallibility, Du Moulin marshals evidence with clarity and conviction. His work is pastoral as well as polemical: a shepherd's defense of the flock against false shepherds who would bind consciences with man-made traditions. Readers will be especially struck by the warmth of his appeals to the gospel’s freedom and purity, and his clear call to look to Christ as the sole Head of His Church.
