CATHOLIC APOLOGETICS GUIDE 101

III

PREFACE

This is a little book for those seeking a right understanding of Apologetics in the contextof Catholicism. It is written in a simple and friendly manner. It is an attempt to look atsome Catholic positions in a Biblical perspective. It is hoped that this book should appealto the Catholic as well as to the non-Catholic readers. It is not written in a "scholarly"way, but as a plain "theological" statement with the hope of carrying conviction.This book does not pretend to be exhaustive. The field which it covers is too vast to admitof minute analysis. A good number of Catholics leave the Church every year due to poorunderstanding of the Faith and also the efforts of anti-Catholic groups and churches.

Realizing that misrepresentation and misunderstanding are the chief sources of error; thisbook serves as a quick guide to remove some of these errors.Many thanks to all those who have made this book a success, especially The BlessedTrinity in Unity and Our Lady of Mercy. This book is also highly indebted to CatholicApologists Mark Bonocore, Patrick Madrid, Steve Ray, Dave Armstrong, John Salza,John Pacheco, Dr. Art Sippo, Dr. Scott Hahn, Tim Staples, Mark Shea and JohnMartignoni among others.The works and/or influence of the following faithful shepherds and teachers were of greatbenefit to this material: Archbishop Fulton J.
