When Thomas Aquinas addressed the best arguments against God in his masterwork, the Summa Theologica, he listed only two. The first was the problem of evil: How can God—who is perfectly good—exist alongside that which is against Him? His second: Is God needed to explain the world? Patrick Flynn presents the best arguments for God while also addressing the strongest objections. This book is destined to become the apologetic gold standard for defending classical theism against atheistic naturalism.

Gilbert Keith Chesterton has become synonymous with modern Christian apologetics. But his impact goes beyond just those interested in a defense of Christian thought. His writings have influenced such diverse authors as C.S. Lewis, Marshall McLuhan, and Jorge Luis Borges, and remains a subtle and unseen presence in contemporary Catholic thought.

On July 5, 1902, Maria Goretti was brutally stabbed to death by Alessandro Serenelli. The 11-year-old virgin-martyr not only fought to maintain her purity, she forgave her killer and declared that she wanted him to be with her in Heaven. In this unique narrative, author Bret Thoman brings the story to life by accompanying the reader on a literary pilgrimage. He personally visits and describes in vivid detail the sites where the young saint lived: Corinaldo, where she was born; Paliano, near Rome, the site of the Goretti family’s first migration; the farmhouse, where she was attacked; and ...

While many Catholics are aware of great female saints such as Catherine of Siena and Thérèse of Lisieux, a view persists that, over the centuries, women played a limited role in the development of Catholic traditions and institutions. In this innovative survey of Church history, Bronwen McShea demonstrates instead that faithful women have always been at the heart of the Church's common life, shaping it and the course of entire civilizations.

Just as Job was tried, all of us are tested by suffering. It comes to us in many different forms: grief about the past, pain in the present, and sadness about what might have been. The personal dimension of suffering means that it marks our experience and, in some ways, makes us who we are. Coping with suffering as Christians includes certain spiritual practices that lead us to surrender our lives more fully to the Lord.

We've watched aghast as faithful Catholics have been restricted or punished without just cause, while those who confuse, contradict, or undermine the Faith are elevated. In this bold and urgent book, the authors notice an apparent absurdity: those most disciplined by the Church at this time are often least deserving of correction. This protracted state of confusion and injustice, plain for all to see, has shaken the faith of millions.

Have you ever wondered whether the Catholic Church is the true church? Believe it or not, Catholic scholars and experts, with the endorsement of the Catholic Church itself, have proven it ISN'T! Curious? This book uses only officially authorized Catholic books--ones which have received the official IMPRIMATUR (Latin for "let it be printed") of the Catholic Church--to show what Catholic Church historians admit about the history of their church, their hierarchy, their practices, and their claims. This isn't someone outside of the Catholic Church making arguments against the legitimacy of the ...

Using exclusively official Catholic writings, O.C. Lambert compares what the Catholic Church says in public to what they admit in their writings, and frequently finds them in stark contradiction. This volume of the popular Roman Catholicism Against Itself series exposes their suppression of the Bible, the history of Mariology (the worship of Mary as greater than Christ), of praying to dead Catholics--even those who they claim are in Purgatory, the history behind infant baptism, the creation and evolution of the priesthood, deliberate mistranslations of the Bible, and the history of their "...
