{"product_id":"2940150966154","title":"Proving the Catholic Faith is Biblical","description":"If you want quick, substantive answers to the most common (and even several uncommon) claims that Catholic beliefs and practices aren't biblical, then Proving the Catholic Faith is Biblical is the book for you.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn these pages, veteran apologist Dave Armstrong carefully walks you through the key teachings of the Church, revealing how each is rooted in Scripture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe begins with several essays on tradition before moving into Ecclesiology, explaining the basis of a single Church, why priests are called father, and whether Church councils are more authoritative than the pope.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArmstrong then justifies priestly celibacy before moving into the theology of salvation. He illuminates the Church's teaching on predestination, what believing in Jesus really means, and the relationship between faith and good works.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe continues by explaining purgatory and penance, the ritualism of the Holy Mass, the Rosary, the Communion of Saints, Mary as Queen of Heaven, papal infallibility, annulments, contraception, the necessity of Hell, and even the development of Church doctrine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll told, he offers here 80 powerful essays that make sense of so many Catholic beliefs and practices that puzzle non-Catholics and cradle Catholics alike.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRead this book, and you'll come to see that not only is the Catholic Faith thoroughly biblical, it is the only Christian religion in full conformity with Scripture.","brand":"Sophia Institute Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47179614912752,"sku":"2940150966154","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940150966154_p0.jpg?v=1763757444","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940150966154","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
