Focusing on the rise and development of the Christian Church, Allies explores the origins of the early church, as well as the formation and solidification of church doctrine. Providing a historical development from Greek philosophy to the early Church Fathers, he thoroughly extends exposition on the rise of Christianity.
In the volume before us Mr. Allies has taken ground not yet occupied by any English author. Hence we especially value the wonderful picture of the Empire painted by our author.
—The Dublin Review

Every scholar will be grateful to him for a book so full of research, while the general reader will find his pages full of information on questions which concern most closely all who hold dear the teaching of the Christian Church.
—The Month and Catholic Review

It is one of the noblest historical works I have ever read. Now that its price has placed it within the reach of all, I earnestly pray that it may become widely known and appreciatively studied. We have nothing like it in the English language.
—H. E. Cardinal Vaughan

Picking up where volume seven left off, volume eight covers monastic life, the impact of St. Augustine, and the historical timeline from Atilla to Charlemagne.
Containing an extensive seventy-seven page preface on the authority of his treatises', Allies provides perceptive commentary on the primacy of St. Peter. Expounding on the progression of doctrine within the Church, Allies follows the historic progression of authorship and it's effects on Catholic doctrine. His foremost intent is to fortify the Catholic doctrine of Papal infallibility and Apostolic authority.
Beginning where volume one left off, this volume—compiled from a series of five articles—focuses on carrying out the doctrine discussed in volume one. Allies gives an account of the ministerial education by the Catholic and Anglican Church between 1559 and 1850 A. D., as well as conveys the effects of Protestant thought on key principles of Catholic doctrine.
Written as an auto-biographical history, Allies provides studies in doctrinal ambiguity within Anglicanism that prompted his conversion to Catholicism. Allies contextually examines the Thirty-Nine Articles of Religion in relation to Catholic doctrine in order to clarify The Church of England's stance towards Catholicism.
Interesting, not only in the way in which all genuine personal narratives are interesting, but also for the many letters from well known persons that it contains. It is a valuable contribution to the history of the Anglican Church in the eventful years which followed the Newman's secession.
—Guardian
After a concise history of the Church up until the Council of Nicaea, Allies examines the doctrinal differences between the Church of England and the Catholic Church—with an equal respect for the offices of the episcopate and papacy.
Seeking to discredit Dr. Edward Pusey's attack on Catholic doctrine, Allies provides a series of treatises that defend the sacraments, Catholic doctrines, and rebuke Donatist teachings. Drawing upon early Church Fathers such as Hermas, Justin Martyr, Tertullian, and Eusebius, Allies coherently defends the perpetual function of the Holy Roman Church.
Drawing heavily on Latin commentary by Father Passaglia, Allies provides elaborate clarification on Papal authority as a continuation of visible spiritual government on earth. The author provides commentary on doctrine from early church fathers such as St. Ambrose, St. Chrysostome, St. Basil, and Irenaeus in order to further his defense of the Papacy.
There is no single book in English on the Catholic side which contains the Scriptural argument about St. Peter and the Papacy so clearly or so conclusively put. It embodies all the learned and elaborate argument of Passaglia, from whose work it is derived, but the matter is condensed and arranged by the hand of a master, and thus the book is anything but a mere translation.
—The Month: A Magazine and Review
Advocating for the Holy Roman Empire, Allies defends the doctrines and ecclesiastical supremacy of the Catholic church. With respect to the authority of St. Peter, Allies provides comprehensive examination of the scriptural authority and jurisdiction of the Church.
Written by T. W. Allies daughter, this biography concisely covers the focal points in T. W. Allies' life. Covering both personal life and intellectual life, Mary H. Allies gives a primary account of her father's enduring legacy.
