Might Supplant Keating's Catholicism and Fundamentalism,
This review is from: A Biblical Defense of Catholicism (Paperback)
An amazing book by the amazing online apologist, Dave Armstrong.Covers the biblical evidence for those Catholic doctrines that typical Evangelicals/Fundamentalists find problematic: Tradition, Justification/Salvation, Development of Doctrine, Eucharist, Sacrifice of the Mass, Communion of Saints, Purgatory, Penance/Reconciliation, the Blessed Mother, the Papacy and infallibility. Appendices on perspicuity, the visible Church, the OT deuterocanonicals, celibacy, infant baptism, and liturgy. Quotes from major Catholic writers and official statements of doctrine. This book is arguably more thorough than the previous best book on the subject: Keating's Catholicism and Fundamentalism. Dave Armstrong's Biblical Defense of Catholicism might supplant Keating's book in the future if the word gets out... Could some Evangelicals/Fundamentalists find "problems" with some of Dave's interpretation of Scripture and its applicability to Catholic dogma? Sure, but so do most Protestants find "problems" with their fellow Protestants interpretation of Scripture. This book by Dave Armstrong proves that Catholicism is AT LEAST as "biblical" as any so-called Protestant "Bible Church" of whatever denomination, sect or cultic persuasion. Catholics have the Bible, Tradition, the early Fathers, the early Saints and Doctors on our side. The overwhelming evidence is there for anyone looking with an open mind: the Catholic Church is the original and historic Church Christ founded! Get Dave's book and examine the evidence for yourself! Forget Dave Hunt, James G. McCarthy, James R. White, Norm Geisler, R.C. Sproul -- or rather read them along with this book which demolishes them all!!! Support this man, his ministry, his huge web site, and his powerful biblical apologetics! Buy this book in bulk!!! Don't forget the sequel More Biblical Evidence and anything else written by Dave Armstrong. Phil Porvaznik  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

Brilliant. Incisive. Profound.,
This review is from: A Biblical Defense of Catholicism (Paperback)
Armstrong, a tireless and insightful Catholic apologist -- one of the recent crop of very smart, Spirit-filled converts who are intent on sharing the wonder of a faith discovered -- gives us a detailed account of the scriptural affirmation of the Catholic faith.I cannot recommend this book highly enough. It will enhance anyone's appreciation of the Bible as well as the Church, and of the relationship between the two. Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
