Karl Keating (Author)

Book Description

Karl Keating defends Catholicism from fundamentalist attacks and explains why fundamentalism has been so successful in converting "Romanists".

5.0 out of 5 stars Clear, concise and beautiful!, March 27, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Catholicism and fundamentalism: The attack on "Romanism" by "Bible Christians" (Paperback)

This book was one of the first books that lead me on my spiritual journey in Catholicism. Karl Keating explains with clear logic and and excellent use of scripture the fundamental beliefs of the Catholic faith. The book is very well documented and easy to read. I would not only recommend it to those who are outside the Church, but also those who wish to learn more about their faith.

This review is from: Catholicism And Fundamentalism (Kindle Edition)

Like many other reviewers, I am using this book to gain a better understanding of the Catholic faith, and I have not been disappointed at all in the author's presentation. Each point is backed up logically and completely not only by Scripture, but also by writings of historians and theologians of the time as well. Granted, the writing comes down a little hard on critics of the Church at times, but it serves to get the point across clearly. The only reason I gave this book 4 stars is that in the Kindle edition there are quite a few typos. For example "lie" instead of "he," "Psalm no" instead of "Psalm 110," "fife" instead of "life" and quite a few others. I don't know if this is due to the way the book was transferred into the Kindle format, but it sure looks like these errors may be due to computer reading problems. It throws you off your stride when you have to try to decipher the words while trying to grasp a concept that may already be a bit difficult to understand! I hope that Amazon will notify Kindle owners of this title when a typo-free edition hits the streets. It would be nice to up-grade to it! If you already have the book and want it on Kindle, hang onto your book until this work is fixed!

This review is from: Catholicism and fundamentalism: The attack on "Romanism" by "Bible Christians" (Paperback)

This work is absolutely one of the best written that deals with this issue. It is extreemly well researched and documented and a must read no matter what your point of view is on this subject. If you want to address these issues in an informed and educated way then this work is key to the entire argument that exists between Bible Christians and Roman Catholics. I wish I had found this book years ago. I have read many of the works cited within this book on my own during my own spiritual journey and can say that each was fairly and accurately used. It is a "must read" for Catholics and non-Catholics alike. Anyone who wishes to make an informed decision about Christianity can start their journey here.
