Written for a wide audience, this book addresses common questions about God, Jesus, faith, reason, the Bible, and many related topics. The goal—as a lay apologist and a Catholic priest—is to hone in on essential points and details within the larger contexts of disagreements and debates that have been around for decades, centuries, or even millennia. The authors hope that the parrhesia—the bold confidence and resolve—of faith will indeed be matched by a corresponding and complementary boldness of reason.

 

Drawing on the authors’ vast experience and studies in theology, philosophy, science, and history, this book engages with the thought and claims of famous skeptics. It is ideal for both Catholics and non-Catholics wishing to know more about essential Catholic beliefs, as well as high school, college, and catechetical students seeking to better respond to challenging questions about the Catholic Faith.

“An invaluable reference guide on some of the main controversies in apologetics.” 
—Edward Feser, Author, Five Proofs of the Existence of God

Read more praise for the book, available from Ignatius Press.

In "Convinced Episode 9", I talk with Don Johnson of Runaway Planet Pictures and Don Johnson Evangelistic Ministries about my journey from a Fundamentalist upbringing and Bible chapel in western Montana to the Catholic Church.

We discuss the importance of Scripture and history in that journey, as well as the influence of the early Church Fathers, Augustine, Newman, Chesterton, Flannery O'Connor, C.S. Lewis, T.S. Eliot, and others.
