Answering a Fundamentalist

I picked up this book as I was beginning my study of Catholicism. Coming from an anti-Catholic background, I appreciated reading the response to most of the things I had been taught. This led me to further study, in which I later found most of the concepts I had been taught regarding Catholicism, were wrong. It is a quick read and a basic overview of the beliefs. I recommend it as a starting place to begin your study between the two doctrines.

This defense of Catholicism is pretty basic. If you have a relative who isn't deep into anti-Catholic apologetics, try handing them this. However, this book won't bring someone like Dr. James White home.

I am a Catholic who converted from Pentacostalism and who has many family members still trapped in Fundamentalism...I have this book and while it's not the best I've read, it certainly does answer Fundamentalist challenges... my Huh? is response to the previous review above mine who states that there are various Catholic apologists refusing to debate James White...excuse me? Try looking up the Website entitled "Anti Catholicism Index"...you'll get more than you bargained for.

In my haste to write the review below, I didn't check what I had written before I sent it in. Clearly, there are 27 books in the New Testament and not 26. Sorry for the typo and sorry if my typo confused anyone.

Fr. Nevins has crafted an incredible weapon of Biblical truth. It is a powerful refutation to the silly, and sometimes outrageous misrepresentations hurled at the Catholic faith. This book asks and answers questions most Protestants never bother to contemplate... Who decided on the 26 books of the New Testament? And when? What did the Church do before the Bible was assembled? Where is "sola scriptura" in the Bible? It is a treasure chest of truth. I recommend it highly!!!!!
