Answering Jehovah Witnesses: A

Wonderful, wonderful! Short, but hits all the major beliefs that separates Catholics and JWs with tons of scriptural evidence for the Catholic position. I have a very good friend who is a devout JW and from what I can gather, Jason does not set up straw men or misrepresent the JWs. He lays out what they ACTUALLY teach and then rebuts it.

Well laid out, walks the reader thru the background of the organization, their mode of operation and then point by point through the major points of contention. It is a pretty quick read.

I purchased this book after having read several other books on the Jehovah's Witnesses. I liked this book the best. I am a former JW myself, having served as a pioneer (full-time door-to-door evangelizer), ministerial servant (deacon) and elder (minister). I can assure you that this book will particularily assist Catholics to refute the claims made by JW's against the Catholic Church (I converted to the Catholic Church in 2004) but also is helpful for Christians of all denominations. Many JW's are ex-Catholics, most of whom never really studied their faith or are really familiar with the history of Jehovah's Witnesses. It is likely that some Catholics have some JW's in their family or will have some in the near future. This book is especially helpful if a family member is thinking about leaving the Catholic Church and becoming a Jehovah's Witness.

If you wish you knew how to dialogue with Jehovah's Witnesses, but don't know what they believe or how to refute their claims, then this is the book for you! It answers questions like: Should you believe in the Trinity? Is Jesus Michael the Archangel? Is Jesus God? Is the Holly Spirit God? Is God's name Jehovah? Did Jesus die on a torture stake or a cross? Did Christ's body rise? Did Christ return already? Who goes to heaven? Is Hell real? What about military service, blood transfusion, and holidays? . . .and much, much more. Jason Evert's book is full of Scriptural references to back his arguments, and it points out the errors of the "New World Translation" in the chapter, "Can You Trust the 'New World Translation'?" The book is easy to navigate and read, and is packed with great information.
