5.0 out of 5 stars A Deacon's thoughts on "Unabridged Christianity", April 8, 2000

By	J. Stroop "[e-mail]" (Atlanta, GA USA) - See all my reviews

I love this book!

Fr. Romero has put together Catholic answers to common Protestant objections to tennents of the Catholic faith in a clear, easy to follow, meaningful format. He uses a chapter of his book to focus on a subject. He first shows us what the Catholic Church teaches about that subject, he then presents the common objections (misunderstandings) Protestants have on the subject, clears up those misunderstandings using Scripture and finally shows what the early Christians (those who followed the Apostles) believed about those subjects.

This book was an excellent source for developing and teaching a class on "Understanding Your Catholic Faith".

I recommend it to Catholics and Protestants alike.

Read it then decide for yourself.

5.0 out of 5 stars VERY useful!, March 16, 2001

By	Scott M. Sullivan (Houston, TX) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have spent a lot of time searching for a book that encompasses a defense of all the common objections raised against the Catholic faith. Having used several other books of this type in the past, this book is by far the best I have seen on the subject. It is very thorough in its defense, quoting many other popular Catholic apologists, and neatly pulls all of these sources together in one easy to read volume. The defense is laid in in a clear Q&A format with many helpful diagrams. It is the perfect book to buy for inquring minds into Catholicism. I myself have purchased several copies just for that very purpose.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Fair and Honest Defense of the Faith, January 2, 2001

By	Barry E. DeWalt (Redding, CA USA) - See all my reviews

Father Romero has put together, in a readable and enjoyable format, a wonderful explanation of Catholic belief as rooted in sacred scripture.

Some of the topics include the Catholic understanding on: 1) How we are saved; 2) the authority of the Pope; 3) Papal infallibility; 4) the communion of the saints (i.e. intercessory prayer); 5) Mary's Immaculate Conception and many more.

The chapters are short and concise. They are filled with biblical proof-texts. Moreover, Father Romero's tone is very fair. In short, a protestant interested in knowing what the Catholic Church really teaches would not put the book down feeling as though he or she has been disrespected.

For Catholics, this book is a must because you will learn to defend your faith. For protestants, you will find out what the Church really teaches and why.

I wish I had this book 10 years ago. God bless & get the book.
