This document's purpose is to spell out the Church's understanding of the nature of revelation--the process whereby God communicates with human beings. It touches upon questions about Scripture, tradition, and the teaching authority of the Church. The major concern of the document is to proclaim a Catholic understanding of the Bible as the "word of God."

Hidden in Plain Sight by Wayne B. Bowman Pdf

The truth about Catholicism is Hidden in Plain Sight. New author Wayne B. Bowman exposes the catechism for what it really is in this eye-opening book. Bowman, a former Catholic, sought out truths and discovered the contents of the catechism and the traditions of the Catholic Church are not biblical. As he presents strong arguments against well-known rituals, such as praying to Mary and infant baptism, readers will find themselves questioning all they know. With historical information and intense scriptural study, Bowman guides readers on a journey to enlightenment, giving them the chance to change their lives for God.

Calling All Catholics by Mark Aldridge Pdf

Have you ever wondered if the doctrines of the Pope, purgatory, or the ascension of Mary can be found in the Bible? What are the practical differences between Catholicism and Evangelicalism? Like author Mark Aldridge, maybe you also once thought that all Christians were nearly the same. In Calling All Catholics, Aldridge takes readers on a step-by-step analysis of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. With each important passage, he compares what the Catechism teaches with the teachings found in the Bible. He holds no punches when the two texts differ, but he is also quick to show points of agreement. Learn more about what the Bible and the Catechism say regarding the forgiveness of sins, the office of the Pope, the person of Mary, the death of Jesus, the nature of Communion and the Eucharist, the authority of Scripture, and even purgatory. Each doctrine encountered is discussed in relation to the teachings found in the Bible. With his clear, straightforward style of explanation, Calling All Catholics is perfect for anyone, laypeople and ministers alike, who wants to know more about the differences between the Bible-based Christianity and the Catholic faith.

The Catechism and Holy Scripture by J. B. Bagshawe,Rev J B Bagshawe D D Pdf

One common pretense levelled by Protestants against Catholics is the latter's disengagement with the written Word of God and incorporation of extra-biblical elements into their religion. The Church, through her Magisterium, theologians, and Saints, has never ceased to zealously face these false accusations. However, commitment to the written Word of God is incumbent also upon laity and for reasons besides polemics alone. Adapted from the catechism issued by the English Bishops at the end of the 19th century, The Catechism and Holy Scripture illustrates the perennial doctrines of the Church through the Scriptures and is composed with the intention of effecting devotional piety. While the "plenitude of the power committed" to the Catholic Church antedates her establishment of the Biblical canon, Catholics cannot neglect the Scriptures without threatening true adherence and reverence to Divine Revelation. "Ignorance of the Scriptures is ignorance of Christ" writes St. Jerome. Presenting Catholic teaching in a question-answer format alongside a host of scriptural passages related to each, Rev. J.B. Bagshawe's volume is ideal for helping the young learn and love the Catholic Faith.

In Defense of the Faithful by C. DeVolld Pdf

In Defense of the Faithful-The Scriptural Truth of Catholicism was written as an aggressive defense of the Catholic Faith. It explores the foundations and historic origins of Catholic doctrine from an evangelical, fundamentalist, and reformed Protestant point of view. It offers the teachings of the Church in common language then defends the position with scriptural quotations from throughout the Holy Bible. It then quotes the Catechism (formal teaching doctrine) of the Catholic Church offering a factual presentation of what the Church actually teaches rather than what many people think it teaches. In doing so it is critical not only of Protestantism but some aspects of Catholicism (in practice) as well. It credits and praises both groups of Christians as being believers dedicated to Jesus and the Trinity while pointing out the mutual failures of both groups. It is a thought provoking examination of Catholic doctrine, practice, theology, and ethics from a biblical viewpoint and is not afraid to point fingers at all parties involved in greater Christianity.

The Good News We Almost Forgot by Kevin L. DeYoung Pdf

If there is "nothing new under the sun," perhaps the main task now facing the Western church is not to reinvent or be relevant, but to remember. The truth of the gospel is still contained within vintage faith statements. Within creeds and catechisms we can have our faith strengthened, our knowledge broadened, and our love for Jesus deepened. In The Good News We Almost Forgot, Kevin DeYoung explores the Heidelberg Catechism and writes 52 brief chapters on what it has shown him. The Heidelberg is largely a commentary on the Apostle's Creed, the Ten Commandments, and the Lord's Prayer, and deals with man's guilt, God's grace, and believers' gratitude. This book is a clear-headed, warm-hearted exploration of the faith, simple enough for young believers and deep enough for mature believers. DeYoung writes, "The gospel summarized in the Heidelberg Catechism is glorious, its Christ gracious, its comfort rich, its Spirit strong, its God Sovereign, and its truth timeless." Come and see how your soul can be warmed by the elegantly and logically stated doctrine that matters most: We are great sinners and Christ is a greater Savior!
