Apologetics

“Faith is the reaisation of what is hoped for and evidence of things not seen.  We know by faith that the universe was ordered by the word of God so that what is visible came to be through the invisible.”..

In August of 1998, a professing atheist read Ray Comfort's "The Atheist Test," wrote to him, and asked why he didn't accept the "scientific facts" that supported the theory of evolution. Ray wrote back that there was more proof that the earth was flat. That was in the beginning. In time, a book evolved. RAY COMFORT has spoken at Yale on the subject atheism. He was a guest speaker for 2002 National Convention of American Atheists, Inc. He is the author of more than 50 books, including God Doesn't Believe in Atheists, and is the co-producer (with Kirk Cameron ) of the award-winning television production, "The Science of Evolution." He says that he can prove God's existence scientifically, without the use of "faith," in two minutes. James D. Franz is a professing atheist and a believer in the theory of evolution. He thinks that Ray Comfort is "idiotic" and a "blinded fool," whose arguments are "laughable at best." He maintains that Ray's logic is "very tainted with uneducated and irr..

Fr Martin d'Arcy was a famous apologist for the Catholic Faith and an eminent philosopher. He was also responsible for a number of high profile conversions including Evelyn Waugh. In this classic text he turns his vast intellect to the age old problem of why God permits innocent suffering. His answers are tightly argued and he concludes that evil 'casts no shadow on God but rather - where sin abounded, there most of all did Love abound'...

My title explains itself. But it’s misleading. There are more than 40 reasons. In fact, there are at least ten to the 82nd power, which, I am told, is the number of atoms in the universe. And that’s just in ordinary matter, which makes up only 4.9% of the universe, the rest being dark matter and dark energy. Each of my reasons is an independent point, so I have not organized this book by a succession of chapters or headings. After all, most readers only remember a few big ideas or separate points after reading a book. (I’ve never heard anyone say “Oh, that was a good continuous-process-of-logically-ordered-argumentation” but I’ve often heard people say, “Oh, that was a good point.” Which takes me back to my main point: “Why are you a Catholic?” is a good question. A good question deserves a good answer...

Most of us know what we believe as Catholics, but often we're unclear on why we believe it. At a time when vast numbers of Catholics are slipping away from the Faith, God has tasked you and countless other Catholics with understanding it so you will be prepared to defend it. With an easygoing and inviting style, EWTN's John Martignoni doesn't simply introduce you to the major doctrines of the Catholic Faith; he explains why they are true and shows you how to explain them effectively to Protestants and "cafeteria Catholics" alike in ways that will draw them into those truths. Far from a complex survey of obscure theological points, this lively book employs clear, simple language that not only demonstrates the fundamental fact that the Bible is a Catholic book, but also teaches Catholics how to "talk Bible" to non-Catholics. When you are done with this book, you will know the biblical basis for the Church's teachings on the sacraments, Purgatory, Mary, the papacy, and why salvation req..
