So why do Catholics... Say Mary remained a virgin?... Refuse to rely on Scripture alone?... Teach papal infallibility?... Worship saints and bow down to their graven images?... Claim the wafer is really Jesus?... And, bottom line, again and again: Where in the Bible does it say..blah blah blah..?...
When some folks have questions about Catholicism, they’re more than merely curious. They want to take a jab at your beliefs as they try to persuade you to accept theirs. Door-to-door proselytizers are trained to ask hot-button questions. They proclaim to know what many Catholics can’t articulate.
Now author, EWTN television host, and noted apologist (that is, defender and teacher of Catholic doctrine) Patrick Madrid has compiled tough questions Catholics face. They are questions he and others have been confronted with time and again.
He presents solid, Bible-based, easy-to-understand, and easy-to-explain answers. Here is how to calmly, charitably, and effectively respond. Discover the answers to some questions you may have wondered about yourself! Paper, 208 pages. Our Sunday Visitor Fall 2003. Quantity
Skeptics have long tried to show that there was no Resurrection. Today, there has been a resurgence of attacks on this central truth of Christianity. Some people claim that the followers of Jesus fabricated the Resurrection. Others argue that the disciples hallucinated or had a “vision” of their dead master, which they confused with a truly risen Jesus. Others still suggest that the Resurrection was a myth or that the apostles may have seen a “spirit” or witnessed a “spiritual resurrection” that had nothing to do with an empty tomb and the transformation of Jesus’ dead body. Did Jesus Really Rise from the Dead? carefully scrutinizes the historical evidence. Rather than accept Christian belief blindly, top scholars and biblical historians critically examine alternative explanations. In the end, they show why it is a matter of sound reason as well as faith to affirm what the early Church proclaimed: Jesus is risen.
A fascinating, fast-paced, exciting exploration of Jesus’ fate, Did Jesus Really Rise from the Dead? shows how Jesus’ Resurrection has consequences for every one of us.
