Some book reviews

So I just got done reading two pretty good Catholic apologetics books that Ehab sent to me recently and I thought I would share my thoughts on them with all the blog readers out there.

The first book is called Protestantism by Dave Armstrong and is a collection of reflections on a variety of topics concerning Protestants, such as Private Judgment, Predestination, Sola Scriptura, Sola Fide and other such topics. The one topic that transcends all the other topics though is the Tradition that we Catholics hold so dear and how it is a cohesive force for our doctrine. All in all, this book is a very well-thought out collection of reflections from his online arguments and on his thoughts in converting to Catholicism.

The second book is another Dave Armstrong book called More Biblical Evidence and it essentially outlines the core beliefs of Catholicism in reference to the Bible. Including but not limited to the topics covered are Tradition, the Eucharist, Marian devotions and the centrality of the Bible to the Catholic faith in contrast to the exclusivity of the Bible in the Protestant faith(s). It is an excellent read and highly recommended for the conscientous apologist.

There are more reviews to come so check back again OR subscribe to this blog via RSS feed!
