Customer Reviews

Catholic sound

Catholic Apologetics is academically dated (originally written in the 1920's), but nevertheless a usefull tool for any serious Catholic who loves his/her catholic faith and desires to know it better and to share and defend it.

Good Primer

Number 4 in a Short Course in Religion. Even though the book is 80 years old it is still a good place to turn for a brief and basic coverage of the topic. Good for an intermediate primer. I would personally recommend it for children a little younger than the target High School audience, maybe 6th-7th grade. Supplemental material is needed to expand what is covered in the book, but that is stated in the book itself along with suggestions for further reading. The book succeeds in it's intended goal, a brief coverage of the topic to serve as a basis for class.

Tremendous!

This is the fourth, or capstone, book in Father John's series on the Catholic religion. Here, Father John presents a firm grounding regarding the ultimate reasonables of the Catholic Faith. In studying philosophia perennis, we see the influence of that discipline in Father's most excellent writing and exposition. All who truly desire to adhere to Saint Peter's admonition to have always a sound reason for our Faith would to do well by reading this wonderful little book.
