The Church of Rome at the Bar of History

William Webster's "The Church Of Rome at the Bar Of History" is an excellent introduction to the issues which separate the Roman Catholic Church from Biblical Christianity. Webster has a chapter on all the standard issues in dispute: the authority of scripture, scripture and tradition, tradition and Catholicism, papal authority and infallibility in the light of history, Marian dogmas, salvation and the sacramental system, the Eucharist, faith and justification. Each chapter contains numerous quotations from historic sources, and the appendices contain further source material on these subjects. After reading this book, if this subject matter interests you, I would recommend James White's "The Roman Catholic Controversy" and William Webster and David T. King's three volume work on the subject of sola scriptura, "Holy Scripture: The Ground and Pillar of Our Faith."
