Basic Apologetics - How to Defend the Catholic Faith

Product Description

How confident are you in your ability to refute Protestant claims and effectively demonstrate Catholicism from Scripture? If you're a believing Catholic, sooner or later you're going to be challenged about your faith. You may even come up against an anti-Catholic attack from someone who seems to have the whole Bible memorized! Too many Catholics are left feeling intimidated and overwhelmed -- and far too many fall prey to the anti-Catholic's deceptively devastating Biblical testimony and wind up leaving the Church. In other words, if you want to stay a believing Catholic you need to know more than just what the Church teaches… but why!

The Answer

But how do you answer charges that Catholic beliefs aren't Biblical? Especially when those objections are backed up with Bible verses that seem to go against Church teaching? The answer is Catholic biblical apologetics! And that's what you'll find in the brand new book, Basic Apologetics: How to Defend the Catholic Faith from the Bible!

User-Friendly
