Devil's Advocate

Meer over het boek

"What if the voice of your deepest doubts and difficulties about Catholicism rose up in the form of a human being and challenged you to a defend your most foundational beliefs? That's the task Trent faces in Devil’s Advocate: a dialogue with his own best objections against the faith he professes and defends. In this engaging series of conversations with his anti-Catholic alter-ego, Trent battles challenges on topics such as: God: You can’t believe that God is a person when most philosophers say that--at best--God is just a force. The problem of evil won’t allow it! The Resurrection: Why say that Jesus truly rose from the dead when simpler explanations suffice? Why believe in this miraculous story but reject those in other religions? Abortion: Would you really tell a pregnant woman she must keep the baby even if doing so will kill both of them? The Bible vs. the Pope: Doesn't it make more sense to put your faith in the unchanging word of God over Catholic leaders who keep making new teachings? Hell: How can you believe that God tortures people in hell forever? What if it were your own child? The voice of doubt does not mess around--not for Trent, and maybe not for you, either. But in Devil’s Advocate, you’ll find that there's a better option than ignoring those doubts you can't quite beat. You have what it takes to face them . . . and Trent will show you how." -- Back cover
