| When family and friends ask for bible references to our Church teachings . . . when non-Catholics start quoting Bible verses to "prove" that Catholic teachings aren't biblical . . . when you're searching yourself for answer to the biblical foundations of the Catholic Faith ... reach for this powerful Bible-based explanation and defense of the Catholic Faith!
Where Is That In The Bible? shows you how to respond to the standard objections to Catholicism -- and how to use Scripture to bring people into (or back into) the Church. Veteran apologist (that is, defender of the faith) and best-selling author Patrick Madrid gives you simple ways to:
- Show the true meaning of verses that non-Catholics often use to contradict the Catholic Faith
- Give biblical answers to the most common questions that non-Catholics ask Catholics about the Church
- Explain exactly what the Bible teaches about the pope, priestly celibacy, the divinity of Christ, homosexuality, abortion, salvation, purgatory, the use of statues and icons, confession to a priest, baptism, and other issues often raised by Catholics and non-Catholics alike.
- Interpret the Bible correctly, according to authentic Christian Tradition -- and steer clear of common mistakes many people make when reading Scripture.
- Share the riches of the Catholic Faith more effectively, especially with those who consider Catholicism to be "unbiblical".
