Martin Luther’s words will be in green; Philip Melanchthon’s in blue. I’ve written and spoken in videos about this many times before: Luther Favored the Death Penalty for Anabaptists [2-24-04] * Philip Melanchthon: Death for Denying the Real Presence (He Later Denied the Real Presence Himself) [5-23-06] * Lord Acton: Philip Melanchthon Persecuted Eucharistic Heretics [5-29-06] * Luther: Death Penalty for Anabaptists & 1525 Peasants’ Revolt (Critique of James Swan’s Misrepresentation on the Radio Show, Iron Sharpens Iron, with Chris Arnzen) [11-6-07] * Reply to...

Summary: Drawing from contemporary biblical archaeology, biblical manuscripts, and studies of ancient measurements, I provide a clear, reasoned, and historically grounded answer. Was Goliath really over 9 feet tall? Or is the Bible telling a more realistic story than many imagine? In this fascinating episode of Lux Veritatis, I unpack one of the most queried details in the Bible: the height of Goliath. You’ll learn what the Masoretic Text, the Septuagint, and the Dead Sea Scrolls actually say—and how... Read more

John Calvin’s 1554 Defense of the Execution of Heretics

Last updated on: June 9, 2025 at 2:45 pm By Dave Armstrong

John Calvin’s words will be in blue. I’ve written several times about the extreme intolerance of the early Protestant leader John Calvin (1509-1564). Protestants (usually only dimly acquainted with the history of the matter and according to received tradition), are accustomed to think that Calvin had a mere lapse regarding the execution of anti-trinitarian heretic Michael Servetus on 27 October 1553, as if this were an “embarrassing” exception to the rule of his usual thinking. Nothing could be further... Read more

Last updated on: May 29, 2025 at 9:01 pm By Dave Armstrong

Summary: This video defends the literal meaning of “This is my Body” with Scripture, logic, and faith— showing how belief in the Eucharist is not only reasonable and biblical, but essential. Why do many Protestants reject the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist—even while believing in other miracles that defy logic and reason? In this eye-opening episode of Catholic Bible Highlights, Kenny Burchard and Catholic apologist Dave Armstrong continue to unpack the intense anti-Eucharistic arguments of Reformed theologian...

Dialogue on Reformed Eucharistic Theology

This exchange occurred in the combox of my video, How Can That Be Jesus? (Turretin & the Eucharist) [Catholic Bible Highlights, 5-23-25]. The words of our Reformed Protestant friend will be in blue. ***** It is very important to know what the other is arguing before making a long video which respectfully most of it has little to do with the argument. I have answered Turretin in-depth in reply articles 14 times now; the last four concerning the Eucharist. This... Read more

Calvinist Hyper-Rationalism vs. the Biblical Teaching of Twenty Kinds of God’s Presence Summary: If you’ve ever heard someone say “Jesus can’t be physically present in the Mass,” this is the episode that flips the script using Scripture (twenty passages), logic, and history. What if one of the greatest Reformed theologians got the Eucharist completely wrong? In this episode of Catholic Bible Highlights, Catholic author and apologist Dave Armstrong joins Kenny Burchard to take on François Turretin’s objections to the Real... Read more

Summary: C. S. Lewis is celebrated by Protestants as a Christian champion—but what if many of his actual beliefs sounded more Catholic than Evangelical? I survey fifteen such beliefs.

Quoting Lewis directly and citing his own letters... Read more

C. S. Lewis On Why He Never Became a Catholic

Last updated on: May 12, 2025 at 8:20 pm By Dave Armstrong

Summary: VIDEO: I make my best guess as to why Anglican apologist C. S. Lewis never became a Catholic. He was ecumenical & didn’t discuss it much, but was also a true-blue Protestant. Why didn’t C.S. Lewis ever become Catholic? He believed in purgatory, the invocation of saints, and the development of doctrine. He admired Chesterton, loved Tolkien, and shared many convictions with Rome—so what held him back? In this compelling documentary-style video, Catholic author and apologist Dave Armstrong... Read more
