Catholicism and Fundamentalism

The Attack on "Romanism" by "Bible Christians" - Karl Keating

Karl Keating defends Catholicism from fundamentalist attacks and explains why fundamentalism has been so successful in converting ``Romanists''. After showing the origins of fundamentalism, he examines representative anti-Catholic groups and presents their arguments in their own words. His rebuttals are clear, detailed, and charitable. Special emphasis is given to the scriptural basis for Catholic doctrines and beliefs. Also by Keating: What Catholics Really Believe This book available on audio cassette.

Christianity for Modern Pagans

Pascal's Pensées, Edited and Commented by Peter Kreeft

Peter Kreeft believes that Blaise Pascal is the first post-medieval apologist. No writer in history, claims Kreeft, is a more effective Christian apologist and evangelist to today's uprooted, confused, secularized pagans (inside and outside the Church) than Pascal. He was a brilliant man--a great scientist who did major work in physics and mathematics, as well as an inventor--whom Kreeft thinks was three centuries ahead of his time. His apologetics found in his Pensées are ideal for the modern, sophisticated skeptic. Kreeft has selected the parts of Pascal's Pensées which best respond to the needs of modern man, and offers his own comments on applying Pascal's wisdom to today's problems. Addressed to modern skeptics and unbelievers, as well as to modern Christians for apologetics and self-examination, Pascal and Kreeft combine to provide a powerful witness to Christian truth. Addressed to modern skeptics and unbelievers, as well as to modern Christians for apologetics and self-examination, Pascal and Kreeft combine to provide a powerful witness to Christian truth and goodness.

"In his usually profound and entertaining style, Dr. Kreeft provides the contemporary reader with a guided tour through the ever-ancient yet ever-modern land of Pascal. And so, one is led--inexorably and delightfully--to follow Pascal's example in betting on God, with all the attendant benefits and joys."

Crossing the Tiber

Evangelical Protestants Discover the Historical Church - Stephen K. Ray

An exhilarating conversion story of a devout Baptist who relates how he overcame his hostility to the Catholic Church by a combination of serious Bible study and vast research of the writings of the early Church Fathers. In addition to a moving account of their conversion that caused Ray and his wife to "cross the Tiber" to Rome, he offers an in-depth treatment of Baptism and the Eucharist in Scripture and the ancient Church.

Thoroughly documented with hundreds of footnotes, this contains perhaps the most complete compilation of biblical and patristic quotations and commentary available on Baptism and the Eucharist, as well as a detailed analysis of Sola Scriptura and Tradition.

"This is really three books in one that offers not only a compelling conversion story, but documented facts that are likely to cinch many other conversions."

-- Karl Keating

"A very moving and astute story. I am enormously impressed with Ray's candor, courage and theological literacy."

--Thomas Howard

Stephen K. Ray was raised in a devout, loving Baptist family. His father was a deacon and Bible teacher and Stephen was very involved in the Baptist Church as a teacher of Biblical studies and lectured on a wide range of topics.

Ecumenical Jihad

Peter Kreeft

Juxtaposing "ecumenism" and "jihad", two words that many would consider at odds with each other, Kreeft argues that we need to change our current alignments. We need to realize that we are at war and that the sides have changed radically: many of our former enemies (e.g. Muslims) are now our friends, and some of our former friends (e.g. humanists) are now our enemies. Documenting the spiritual and moral decay of modern society, Kreeft issues a wake-up call to all God-fearing Christians, Jews and Muslims to unite together in a "religious war" against the common enemy of godless secular humanism, materialism and immorality. Aware of the deep theological differences between these faiths, Kreeft calls for a moratorium on our polemics against each other so that we can form an alliance to fight together to save western civilization. God is calling for this unity, Kreeft says, and if we respond, God will do something wonderful.

"Be forewarned. This book pricks prejudices, jostles assumptions, and can do permanent harm to complacent Christianity. Definitely not recommended for people who are unprepared for a rollickingly adventurous journey into truths that might change them forever."

--Fr. Richard J. Neuhaus

"This racy book opens up a far-reaching theme. With entertaining insight Kreeft looks into the attitudes, alliances, and strategies that today's state of affairs requires of believers. Catholics, Protestants, and Orthodox need to ponder Kreeft's vision. What if he is right?"

Evangelical is Not Enough

Worship of God in Liturgy and Sacrament - Thomas Howard

In this deeply moving narrative, Thomas Howard describes his pilgrimage from Evangelicalism (which he loves and reveres as the religion of his youth) to liturgical Christianity. He soon afterward became a Roman Catholic. He describes Evangelicalism with great sympathy and then examines more formal, liturgical worship with the freshness of someone discovering for the first time what his soul had always hungered for. This is a book of apologetics without polemics.

Non-Catholics will gain an appreciation of the formal and liturgical side of Catholicism. Catholics will see with fresh eyes the beauty of their tradition. Worship, prayer, the Blessed Virgin, the Mass, and the liturgical year are taken one after the other, and what may have seemed routine and repetitive suddenly comes to life under the enchanting wand of Howard's beautiful prose.

Howard unfolds for us just what occurs in the vision and imagination of a Christian who, nurtured in the earnestness of Protestant Evangelicalism, finds himself yearning for "whatever-it-is" that has been there in the Church for 2000 years. It traces Howard's soul-searching and shows why he believes the practices of the liturgical Church are an invaluable aid for any Christian's spiritual life. Reminiscent of the style and scope of Newman, Lewis and Knox, this book is destined to be a classic.

"The question, What is the Church? becomes, finally, intractable; and one finds oneself unable to offer any very telling reasons why the phrase `one, holy, catholic, and apostolic', is to be understood in any other than the way in which it was understood for 1500 years."
-- Thomas Howard

Thomas Howard is a professor of English at St. John's Seminary, Brighton, Massachusetts, and formerly taught at Gordon College, Wenham, Massachusetts. Among his many books are Chance or the Dance?, The Achievement of C.S. Lewis, and The Novels of Charles Williams.

The Everlasting Man
(Book on tape)

G. K. Chesterton

Considered by many to be Chesterton's greatest masterpiece of all his writings, this is his whole view of world history as informed by the Incarnation. Beginning with the origin of man and the various religious attitudes throughout history, Chesterton shows how the fulfillment of all of man's desires takes place in the person of Christ and in Christ's Church. Chesterton propounds the thesis that "those who say that Christ stands side by side with similar myths, and his religion side by side with similar religions, are only repeating a very stale formula contradicted by a very striking fact." And with all the brilliance and devastating irony, so characteristic of his best writing, Chesterton gleefully and tempestuously tears to shreds that "very stale formula" and triumphantly proclaims in vivid language the glory and unanswerable logic of that very striking fact. Here is the genius of Chesterton at its delightful best.

"... in the mood of clarity which the author creates for us, the sense of wonder and awe at the universe, at God and man, Mr. Chesterton performs a miracle which comes well in this sophisticated age of scorn."

-- Boston Transcript

"Probably the best Chesterton has written. It is so rich in good sense, in wit, and in plain profound and cheerful truth that almost every page deserves a review to itself."

Born Fundamentalist, Born Again Catholic

David Currie

David Currie was raised in a devout Christian family whose father was a fundamentalist preacher and both parents teachers at Moody Bible Institute. Currie's whole upbringing was immersed in the life of fundamentalist Protestantism--theology professors and seminary presidents were frequent guests at his family dinner table. This book was written as an explanation to his fundamentalist friends and family about why he became a Roman Catholic. Currie presents a very lucid, systematic and intelligible account of the reasons for his conversion to the ancient Church that Christ founded. He gives a detailed discussion of the important beliefs Catholic and evangelicals hold in common, as well as the key doctrines that separate us, particularly the Eucharist, the Pope, and Mary.

"David Currie has written what may turn out to be the work on this nettlesome topic of Evangelicals being received into the Catholic Church. With great charity and lucidity, he pursues every conceivable topic--biblical, ecclesiological, theological, and historical--that arises in the discussions on this matter."

-- Thomas Howard

"Currie's book is a must read. Seldom is something so deep explained so clearly as Currie does in this wonderful work. Get it and get a copy for a friend."

Fundamentals of the Faith

Essays in Christian Apologetics - Peter Kreeft

Kreeft considers all the fundamental elements of Christianity and Catholicism, explaining, defending and showing their relevance to our life and the world's yearnings. Here is a book to help you understand your faith more fully and to explain it to others more winningly. Like every religion, this faith has three aspects, corresponding to the three parts of the soul and filling the innate needs of all three parts. Kreeft uses these three divisions as the basic outline for his Christian apologetics. First, every religion has some beliefs, whether expressed in creeds or not, something for the intellect to know. Second, every religion has some duty or deed, some practice of program, some moral or ethical code, something for the will to choose. Finally, every religion has some liturgy, some worship, some "church", something for the body and the concrete imagination and the aesthetic sense to work at. Creed, Code and Cult; Words, Works and Worship, are a most useful way of outlining any religious faith, including the Catholic Faith of Christians.

"These essays were written for Catholics by a Catholic. But I believe that nearly everything I say here will be found by the orthodox Biblical Protestant reader to be his faith as well: That solid and substantial core that C.S. Lewis called `mere Christianity'"

The King's Highway

El Camino Real: God's Highway to Peace and Happiness - Kenneth R. Guindon

This is the compelling story of a man born as a ``cradle Catholic'' who left the Church at an early age to join the Jehovah's Witnesses, the recounting of his 16 years with that sect and its inner workings, his being ``born again'' as a Baptist minister for another 12 years, and the conclusion of his incredible spiritual journey along the ``King's Highway'' back to the Catholic faith. Ken Guindon uses the metaphor of the ``Royal Road'', the name El Camino Real that Spaniards have historically called their most important routes, to describe the road that the Heavenly King has led him on, and all seekers of the truth, to the Catholic Church.

Travel along this amazing spiritual odyssey as Guindon describes why he left the Church, how the Jehovah's Witnesses so effectively proselytize for new members, how they train and control their members, their false teachings and promises, and how Catholics can counter the methods and doctrines of the Witnesses. He also gives a detailed account of his experiences as a Baptist minister and missionary, why they are so zealous and so anti-Catholic, and how he came back to Catholicism through a closer look at the Bible. An unusual, educational and powerful modern conversion story.

``Guindon's story inspires the hope that many who have left the Church will return just as he did. It seems we all know someone that would benefit greatly from this book.''

Yes or No?

Peter Kreeft

The popular Christian apologist Kreeft tackles many of the tough questions of our day concerning Christianity. In a series of imaginative "dialogues", Sal the Seeker and Chris the Christian deal with the profound mysteries of the Gospel. The result is a book that is both engaging and profound, a book that leads readers to initial faith--or to deeper faith. The stakes in these dialogues are high. Christianity is God's marriage proposal to the soul, says Kreeft, and the answer must be "yes" or "no". We can evade the claims of Jesus Christ for a while, but death brings evasion to an end. It is wiser to look at Christianity honestly now. Yes or No? shows the truth of Jesus' promise that those who sincerely seek the truth shall find it. It is a road map for those who are honestly seeking the truth and a source of greater faith for those how have already found God. It presents the full challenge of the gospel in a way modern men and women can understand. "Lots of writers have the gift of irony, or humor, or logic, or common sense. Very few combine all these gifts in one talent and put it at the service of truth. Peter Kreeft is simply the best, the most engaging, Christian apologist at work today, and this book is another example of a master craftsman at his peak."

-- Francis X. Maier, Editor, National Catholic Register

"An apologetical work which is orthodox in content, appealing in approach, and covers all the fundamental bases of Christianity. Ideal for Catholic high school or college, RCIA, or simply as a refresher."

-- Fr. Peter Stravinskas, Editor, The Catholic Answer

"Kreeft calls this book an alarm clock to wake up the indifferent--it's more like a cannon blast. The reader ignores its arguments at his peril."
