The book I read is the abridged edition by Augustine Institute, having 204 pages. I wouldn't give it a 4.1 rating because the book is a little tedious to read. It's a good book to gain understanding of some of the gaps in understanding between some Evangelicals (as they are called) and Catholics. For the Catholic who is moderately involved in his or her faith, doctrine (an understanding of what is believed) is important and pragmatic. The Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC) testifies to the importance of doctrine. Doctrine is less well formulated in many (but not all) Protestant communions. Christians literally live and die by what they believe, and by the faith (trust) in what they believe. Sure - Christ is sympathetic to ignorance. So it's possible for the conscientious aborigine to be saved - but it rather tenuous to allow oneself to continue in ignorance. ( )

Karl Keating defends Catholicism from fundamentalist attacks and explains why fundamentalism has been so successful in converting Romanists. After showing the origins of fundamentalism, he examines representative anti-Catholic groups and presents their arguments in their own words. His rebuttals are clear, detailed, and charitable. Special emphasis is given to the scriptural basis for Catholic doctrines and beliefs.

Very to the point. Anyone interested in viewpoints on Catholic dogma and reason why Fundamentalist arguments have not swayed the Vatican. ( )
