I wanted to call your attention to my #97 which is not totally comprehensive. Not to proselytize but to set certain popular historical errors aside. You may well disagree with us on matters of theology but the history in that post (which has nothing to do with differences between Catholics and other Christians) is the history. In controversies as to these facts, I choose what I believe to be true when I cannot be absolutely sure but I approach such controversies with the mind of a recovering trial lawyer ad looking for the best evidence.
An Evangelical Christian working as a tech at the dialysis center where I receive treatment lent me a book by a former atheist or agnostic reporter for the Chicago Tribune and Yale Law School alumnus. The book is The Case for Christ and was written by Lee Strobel about his own investigation of Christ and the Scriptural accounts about Him that led to his own conversion when, to his horror, his wife had suddenly become a fervent Evangelical believer. He was going to muster the evidence, debunk the claims about Jesus Christ and teach his gullible wife a lesson.
Instead, after consulting about 20 experts and scholars on Scripture, the crucifixion, the Resurrection, the early Christian community, St. Paul, relations between early Christians and the Jews at Jerusalem. etc., he concluded for Jesus Christ and His absolute authenticity. The now Rev. Mr. Lee Strobel is an assistant pastor at an Illinois Evangelical MegaChurch; Willowbrook Community Church. Allow this Catholic to recommend to you and to my fellow Catholics the thoroughly Reformed Rev. Mr. Strobel's book.
I also lent the Evangelical dialysis tech a copy of the late Bishop Fulton J. Sheen's Life of Christ, one of the more outstanding volumes in my extensive collection.
Again, God bless you and yours.
I have heard of the book and the author but have never read it.
I should sometime. I’ll see if I can find a copy somewhere.
