"We have had constant questions regarding the number of people who suffered under the Inquisition, so we give here some historical sources. First, from John Dowling's The History of Romanism, Book 8, Ch. 1, pp. 542, 543, "From the birth of Popery in 600, to the present time, it is estimated by careful and credible historians, that more than FIFTY MILLION of the human family have been slaughtered for the crime of heresy by popish persecutors, an average of more than forty thousand religious murders for every year of the existence of Popery." The main credible historians on the Inquisition, besides Dowling himself are Lea, Vancandard, Maycock, Coulton, and Turberville. Secondly, Scott's Church History gives a few sets of numbers, with the qualification, "No computation can reach the numbers who have been put to death, in different ways, on account of their maintaining the profession of the Gospel, and opposing the corruption of the Church of Rome. A MILLION of poor Waldenses perished in France; NINE HUNDRED THOUSAND orthodox Christians were slain in less than thirty years after the institution of the order of the Jesuits (see the MP3 below, The Jesuits and the Inquisition, Roman Catholic Terrorism, Torture & Murder of Reformation Martyrs by J.A. Wylie, for more specifics about the Jesuits and the Inquisition - ed.). The Duke of Alva boasted of having put to death in the Netherlands, THIRTY-SIX THOUSAND by the hand of the common executioner during the space of a few years. The Inquisition destroyed, by various tortures, ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND within thirty years. These are a few specimens, and but a few, of those which history has recorded; but the total amount will never be known till the earth shall disclose her blood, and no more cover her slain." The torture chambers of the Inquisition lasted 605 years and were found throughout the nations controlled by Rome. They had their beginning under Pope Innocent III in 1203 until the Inquisition's final dissolution in Spain and Portugal in 1808." - https://www.bereanbeacon.org/.

"The Counter Reformation is generally considered to have three aspects: the Jesuits, the Inquisition, and the Council of Trent. In view of the significance of the Protestant apocalyptic interpretation of history which prophetically pinpointed step by step the events covering the whole Christian era from the beginning to the end (i.e. Historicism - ed.), it seems justifiable to suggest a fourth aspect, namely the preteristic (Preterism - ed.) and futuristic (Futurism - ed.) interpretations launched by Catholic expositors as a counterattack." - Kevin Reed, from his book review titled "The Ecclesiology of John Foxe: A book review by Kevin Reed of John Foxe and the Elizabethan Church by V. Norskov Olsen, 1973, citing Olsen on p. 47.

Richard Bennett Reviews and
Recommends the Puritan Hard Drive
Richard Bennett, Berean Beacon
The Puritan Hard Drive has been such a superb blessing to me personally and for my ministry, that I lack words to adequately praise the Lord!
The immense heritage of Puritan and Biblical pastors, leaders, and teachers is given to us in a single source on the Puritan Hard Drive. Right here at your fingertips are the works of such men as John Wycliffe, John Huss, Martin Luther, William Tyndale, John Calvin, Thomas Cranmer, John Bunyan, John Owen, Matthew Poole, George Whitefield, Charles Spurgeon, J. C. Ryle, and on and on until you reach the great Biblical scholars of the present century.
More than standing on the shoulders of these illustrious men, you have their thoughts in written and audio format. In our own times, we have their writings to read, their videos to see, and their messages to hear, on the Puritan Hard Drive.
Let the words of the Psalmist be our heart's cry, "Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart."
May we deeply profit from the Lord's heritage given to us on the Puritan Hard Drive, "to the praise of the glory of his grace."
