Karl Keating
Best-selling Catholic apologist and author Karl Keating presents writings from five of his favorite apologists who give a clear and forceful exposition of Catholic truth. These five well-known British writers of the 20th century had strong convictions, were not afraid of controversy, and defended the truth with vigor and charity.
The five apologists are John Henry Newman, Hilaire Belloc, Herbert Thurston, Arnold Lunn and Ronald Knox. Each of their pieces were directed at one person, with the public invited to look over the writer’s shoulder. Each selection includes prefatory material from Keating that sets the stage and introduces the characters, along with 337 footnotes.
These great writers employ what Keating calls “high-level apologetics” — plenty of erudition, accessibility, and wit. Unlike today, when many find reasoned controversy unfashionable, and a desire for the truth giving way to indifferentism, these writers display a passion for the truth, sophisticated arguments, clarity of thought and vivid personalities.
"Keating takes us back to classic Catholic apologetics, when great defenders of the faith used reason like a razor to cut through the typical confusion of most objections to the faith. In today's era of emotional indulgence and 'non-think,' it is exhilarating simply to follow their train of thought. This book will introduce a new generation of readers to some of the best defenses of the faith ever."
—Kenneth D. Whitehead, Author, One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic
