European Civilization: Protestantism and Catholicity Compared in Their Effects on the Civilization of Europe is a book written by Jaime Balmes in 1850. The book compares the impact of Protestantism and Catholicism on the development of European civilization. Balmes argues that Catholicism has played a more positive role in the development of Europe, citing examples such as the preservation of ancient knowledge during the Dark Ages, the establishment of universities, and the promotion of art and literature. He also criticizes Protestantism for its emphasis on individualism and its tendency to fragment society. The book is considered an important work in the history of religious and cultural studies, and provides insights into the ongoing debate over the role of religion in shaping society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
