Primer on Roman Catholicism


Book Description

There is a great deal of confusion in our theologically illiterate day about the differences between Romanism and Protestantism. Dr. Gerstner gives an overview of seven eternally significant areas in which the two sides differ: baptism, confirmation, the mass, penance, the last rites, the Bible, and justification by faith alone. This primer is also included in Primitive Theology.













Philosophy and Catholic Theology


Book Description

This short book offers a survey of recent philosophy and how its different patterns of thought have influenced Catholic theologians. Rooted in the questions raised by Vatican I and the directions pointed by Vatican II, Philosophy and Catholic Theology shows how theology has developed over the past two centuries and how it builds on the foundations philosophy has laid since the Middle Ages and the crises of the Reformation and the Enlightenment. Begin to see how reason informs faith and how the two work together to yield knowledge of lifes most profound realities. This book will be of immediate appeal to students of both philosophy and theology as well as to the general reader.
