| Summary |
"Ten Reasons Proposed to His Adversaries for Disputation in the Name of the Faith" by Edmund Campion is a theological treatise written during the late 16th century. The work outlines Campion's arguments defending the Catholic faith against Protestant criticism, presenting a courageous call for debate on religious matters in a time when Catholicism faced severe persecution in England. At the start of the book, Campion establishes the context of his mission amidst the religious turmoil of 1580s England, highlighting his determination to rekindle faith among Catholics amid the Protestant Reformation's dominance. The opening details his journey back to England as a Jesuit priest and the intense challenges he faced, including a plea for an open debate with Protestant leaders about key doctrines. His "Challenge" sets the stage for a public disputation, seeking to fortify the Catholic cause and invigorate believers, while also outlining his intention to address the emerging Protestant arguments methodically and forcefully.
