"Christianographie, Or The Description Of The Multitude And Sundry Sorts Of Christians In The World, Not Subject To The Pope" Ephraim Pagitt, 1636
First published in 1635 and expanded in 1636, this influential work by Ephraim Pagitt is a cornerstone of seventeenth-century Protestant literature. As a London curate, Pagitt set out to document the diverse Christian communities worldwide that did not acknowledge the authority of the Roman Catholic Pope. Through his research, Pagitt argued that the Protestant church was not a recent development, but rather part of a longstanding tradition—a “multitude” of Christians independent of papal rule.
