Great Teacher

Living around many Protestants it is very refreshing and informative to have how everything is laid out in the Catholic Faith as it relates to scripture.

A good resource

The main focus of this book is Catholic/ Protestant apologetics; that is, answering those objections we most often hear from Protestants using the bible i.e. questions about Mary, the Papacy, Purgatory, etc. It covers pretty much every topic that one normally encounters. Saturated with scripture, the book is organized into major sections (e.g. Mary) and within each section are subsections dealing with specific objections (Her Immaculate Conception, Did she have other children etc.) This is a great resource to have because in this single volume, you will find the majority of Catholic verses and arguments used to counter typical objections. The author, of course, expounds upon all the verses and passages that she quotes, framing a context within the rest of the bible as well as Christian tradition.

A marvelous source for proofs of Catholic teaching

One of the most commonly heard criticisms of the teachings of the Catholic Church is that they are not scriptural and ,therefore, have no legitimate basis for belief. Chantal Epie's marvelous book goes quite a long way to prove just the opposite. Scriptural Roots of Catholic Teaching: How the Bible Proves the Truth of the Catholic Faith is a bonafide apologetics resource that points out succinctly just how scriptural Catholic beliefs really are. There are nearly 700 references to Sacred Scripture showing clearly that the Bible ( along with Sacred Tradition ) is a revered foundation for the truths held by Holy Mother Church. The book is written in cogent, accessible style that makes it ideal for catechetical situations of all kinds, such as high school & college religion courses, CCD classes, RCIA formation programs and parish study groups. Importantly, this volume has received the Nihil Obstat & the Imprimatur, which authorizes it to be used in such situations. I am constantly amazed at how many programs use books that do not carry these designations, the first of which guarntees that a book is free from doctrinal & moral error and the second of which carries the local bishop's permission to publish, particularly for use as a catechetical text. As well, this book is perfect for private study & faith enrichment as well. Scriptural Roots of Catholic Teaching: How the Bible Proves the Truth of the Catholic Faith would be a immensely useful addition to any apologetics library. It is a book that I would recommend to anyone who has had their Catholic beliefs challenged by those who might suggest that the Church's teachings cannot be found in Holy Scripture. They certainly can be found in Scripture, with great ease, thanks to Chantal Epie's splendid book!

One of the Best out there

A beautifully written, detailed exploration of all major Catholic doctrines, intertwined throughout with scriptural text. Although Catholics base their faith on both Scripture and Oral Tradition - and are often knocked by non-Catholics for the latter - author Chantal Epie proves how all Catholic doctrine can be traced to Scripture. Far from being dry and tedious, the text is immensely readable; I had a hard time putting this book down. A must read for any Catholic seeking biblical proof of his or her faith. I would also heartily recommend this book to non-Catholics who are curious about Catholic doctrine.
