CATHOLIC FOR A REASON Edited by Dr. Scott Hahn & Leon J. Supprenant. ($15.95 ) 12 of today's top Catholic authors, apologists and theologians come together to answer common objections and challenges to the teachings and doctrines of the Catholic Church. Each goes to the heart of his or her chapter topic, be it Mary, the Eucharist, Baptism, or Purgatory, and presents the teachings of the Church in the context of the "big picture": Our Heavenly Father's loving plan to save us. As Archbishop Chaput puts it, "Catholic for a Reason has all the marks of an apologetics classic: conciliatory in tone, rooted in Scripture, very readable in presentation and persuasive in its explanation. Or to put it another way, it reaches both the head and heart." |
 |
A FATHER WHO KEEPS HIS PROMISES . God's Covenant Love in Scripture.

NOT BY FAITH ALONE . Biblical Evidence for the Catholic Doctrine of Justification. Bob Sungenis. Foreword by Scott Hahn. Epilogue by Fr. Peter Stravinskas ($24.95) For centuries Protestants have branded Catholic teaching on justification as unfounded and unbiblical. Not by Faith Alone not only sets the record straight, it shatters the very foundations of the sola fide argument in the process.In this"monumental" and "revolutionary" masterpiece, former anti-Catholic and Westminster Theological seminary graduate, Robert Sungenis, makes meticulous use of Scripture and primary writings of Protestant greats to expose the weaknesses, problems and inconsistencies of the sola fide position.With relentless precision he demonstrates how it can not withstand careful biblical, linguistic , historical and theological analysis. Sungenis leaves nothing to chance, no stone unturned. The pillar argument for Protestantism doesn't have a prayer. |
 |

Mitchell Pacwa, Mark Shea and the Very Rev. Peter Stravinskas. Together with lead Robert Sungenis they understand how Sola Scriptura remains the key barrier between Catholics and Protestants. Together they realize that truth is the only real basis for reunion. Individually they pen masterpiece cases for the refutation of the Protestant position and proof that Sacred Tradition and Church Authority are just as important to God's plan for our salvation. Kreeft calls Not by Scripture Alone " the single most important treatment of this central issue." Not by Scripture Alone sets the biblical and historical record straight. It proves this pillar argument for Protestantism can't hold holy water. |
 |
TRADITION & TRADITIONS . The Biblical, Historical & Theological Evidence for Catholic Teaching on Tradition. Cardinal Yves Congar. Foreword by Patrick Madrid. ($49.99) Most evangelical Protestants reject Catholic teaching on Tradition as human invention, alien to Scripture and incompatible with the "pure gospel." Most Catholics venerate it as authoritative and binding, but are hazy about its definition and unable to provide concrete examples. In this widely heralded international classic, Conga synthesizes Scriptural, theological and patristic evidence for the Tradition doctrine into a single, cohesive, narrative that clarifies Catholic teaching and answers, once and for all, the various Protestant objections. With scholarly rigor and a gift for simplification, Congar demonstrates how the "full gospel" has been transmitted since ancient times through both Scripture and Tradition. Protestant arguments are shaken to their very foundations. Readers are inspired to value this doctrine as one of the deepest mysteries of Christian Faith. "One of the most influential books I've ever read"- Scott Hahn. |
VIII. The last word on end times
 |
IS JESUS COMING SOON?A Catholic Perspective on the Second Coming .Ralph Martin.

Based on solid scriptural and theological studies, he treats the fascinating questions about Our Lord's return in an easy- to-read and inspiring manner-all within the context of the basic gospel message. With millennial and eschatological speculation increasing, it is important that Catholics be well grounded in what Scripture and the Church teach. Martin makes it abundantly clear that the truths about Our Lord's return and the last things are intended to radically impact our daily life and help us live in the joy, freedom and love of the Holy Spirit. |
