If there is a true church, which one is it?
Jose Ventilacion is a minister in Iglesia ni Cristo (Church of Christ in Tagalog). Like his denomination’s founder, he claims that the original Christian Church apostatized around the end of the first century and totally disappeared from history, only to be reëstablished in the Philippines in 1914. Borrowing from the Jehovah’s Witnesses, Iglesia ni Cristo rejects the Trinity. Borrowing from Protestant Fundamentalism, it rejects Catholicism—but with a vehemence that startles even Fundamentalists.
This debate was held before an audience of 3,500, nearly all of them members of Iglesia ni Cristo. The question for the evening was whether the Church founded by Christ is to be identified with Iglesia ni Cristo or with the Catholic Church. Not a few listeners went away surprised.
Karl Keating is the author of Catholicism and Fundamentalism, Booked for Life: The Bibliographic Memoir of an Accidental Apologist, The New Geocentrists, the How to Fail at Hiking series, and other works. His avocations include backpacking, studying languages, and playing the baroque mandolino. His author website is karlkeating.com.

About the author

Karl Keating was born in Chicago, grew up near Los Angeles, and ever since college has lived in San Diego. After practicing law for twelve years he founded a Catholic apologetics ministry from which he is now retired.
He has written two traditionally-published bestsellers, one that sold a quarter of a million copies in paperback, another that sold half that many. (He also has written a few doorstops.)
Today he writes in multiple genres: religion, history, science, outdoors, publishing, and fiction. At the moment he is writing several books simultaneously. This is not a smart thing to do, but it's the way he works.
HIS NEWEST BOOK
"1054 and All That: A Lighthearted History of the Catholic Church" is the first book of its kind: real history, with an "attitude" that's sure to keep you smiling. (Publication date: December 1, 2022.)
A SERIES IN PREPARATION
This series should be available in early 2023.
It's a series (four titles, plus an omnibus) on how *not* to hike and backpack. Lots of books tell you what you should do before and during a trip, but it's equally important to know how to avoid blunders that could ruin what otherwise would be a fine adventure. The constituent books:
"How to Fail at Backpacking"
"How to Fail at Hiking Mt. Whitney" (already available at Amazon)
"How to Fail at Hiking Yosemite"
"How to Fail at Hiking Grand Canyon"
"How to Fail at Hiking" (omnibus volume)
OTHER BOOKS IN PREPARATION
1. A witty and profound collection of 365 witty and profound sayings of Samuel Johnson (1709-1784): a reflection and commentary for every day of the year. (Expected availability: mid-2023.)
3. A how-to-write-and-edit-your-own-book handbook, written in the voice of Mrs. Malaprop, the famed character from Richard Brinsley Sheridan's play "The Rivals." (Expected availability: mid-2023.)
