Christian / Catholic Apologetics

A Faith InterrruptedIn the form of a conversation with disaffected Catholics, this book not only explores some of the reasons why Catholics leave the church and offers guidance for those contemplating a return, but also outlines basic principles of the faith, looks at key elements that make up the Catholic identity, and simplifies issues of theology and Church teaching.

Born Fundamentalist, Born Again CatholicIn this book written as an explanation to his fundamentalist and evangelical friends and family, David Currie presents a very lucid, systematic and intelligible account of the reasons for his conversion to the ancient Church that Christ founded.

God is No Delusion

Richard Dawkins, biologist and best-selling author, claims that belief in God is a “delusion” and that “religion” harms society. By demonstrating how Dawkins’ criticisms rest on misunderstandings, superficial readings, poor argumentation, a lack of historical awareness, and not a little prejudice, Crean reveals Dawkins to be out of his philosophical and theological depth, and his case against God to be fundamentally flawed.

Love and ResponsibilityPerhaps the most striking feature of this book is that Wojtyla appeals throughout to ordinary, human experience. He draws support for his views on the proper gratification of sexual needs, on birth control, and on other matters, from the findings of physiologists and psychologists.

One Man, One WomanO'Leary explains why she spent ten years writing this book: "However much we might wish it were otherwise, our credibility on all other issues hangs on our ability to defend this teaching. If this teaching is no longer applicable, why should young people believe that anything we say is morally binding? If God is wrong about this, or if we are wrong about God’s teaching, then our credibility is completely undermined. We are simply stating our personal opinions — and narrow, mean-spirited opinions at that."

OrthodoxyOf the numerous works that Chesterton wrote, the most scintillating synthesis of his philosophy and deeply religious faith is manifested in his masterpiece, Orthodoxy, written when he was only thirty-four and telling, in his inimitable, soaring prose, of his earth-shaking discovery that orthodoxy is the only satisfactory answer to the perplexing riddle of the universe.
