The Religion of the Plain Man is essentially a kind of pocket sized apologetics. With a convert's understanding Msgr. Benson proceeds to trace the sincere inquiries of an imaginary non-Catholic as he probes the present-day forests of beliefs in search of the Tree of Life-the One True Church. Through generous reference to Sacred Scripture, Msgr. Benson sets forth the claims of the Roman Catholic Faith-from forgiveness of sins to the authority of the Pope. Ideal gift for non-Catholics too!
