How can you believe all this stuff? This is the number-one question Catholics get asked and, sometimes, we ask ourselves. Why do we believe that God exists, that he became a man and came to save us, that what looks like a wafer of bread is actually his body? Why do we believe that he inspired a holy book and founded an infallible Church to teach us the one true way to live? Ever since he became Catholic, Trent Horn has spent a lot of time answering these questions, trying to explain to show more friends, family, and total strangers the reasons for his Catholic faith Some didn t believe in God, or even in the existence of truth. Others said they were spiritual but didn t think you needed religion to be happy. Some were Christians who thought Catholic doctrines over-complicated the pure gospel. And some were fellow Catholics who had a hard time understanding everything they professed to believe on Sunday. Why We re Catholic assembles the clearest, friendliest, most helpful answers that Trent learned to give to all these people and more. Beginning with how we can know reality and ending with our hope of eternal life, it s the perfect way to help skeptics and seekers (or Catholics who want to firm up their faith) understand the evidence that bolsters our belief and brings us joy. show less
Great book. I agree with Catholics on most things. It just so happens when it comes to those things I would disagree on, Horn didn’t give much of an argument for. Papal succession for instance… he brings it up as if it’s just assumed after making his case for Peter’s papacy. There are several examples of this, but other than that I think he’s very well reasoned and gave me clarity on some of their positions like Mary’s immaculate conception and praying to the saints.
Have you ever read something in the Bible and just scratched your head, or been challenged by a skeptic to explain a seemingly scandalous verse? You re not alone. The Bible contains more than a few hard sayings (John 6:60): ancient idioms, apparent contradictions, myth-like events and figures, and passages that seem to be embarrassingly out of step with modern culture or science. Trent Horn can help. In Hard Sayings, Trent looks at dozens of the most confounding passages in Scripture and show more offers clear, reasonable, and Catholic keys to unlocking their true meaning. show less
In Answering Atheism, Trent Horn responds to that need with a fresh and useful resource for the God debate, combining a thorough refutation of atheist claims with a skillfully constructed case for theism based on reason and common sense. Just as important, he advocates a charitable approach that respects atheists’ sincerity and good will—making this book suitable not just for believers but for skeptics and seekers too.
