Dr. Beckwith’s new book, Never Doubt Thomas, tackles this topic from the perspective of Catholicism, Thomas Aquinas, and engages with Evangelical Christian thought in order to show exactly what it is that Muslims and Christians have in common in their understanding of who… Read more

Mass is the Spiritual Workout God Knows You Need

In almost all of the developed world obesity is a growing crisis. People—adults and, most alarmingly, children too—are getting fatter and becoming considerably less healthy. It’s a huge problem, pun intended, but strangely enough the causes of the epidemic we find ourselves is are all too well known, and stupidly simple. Highly processed food and a movement away from eating honest, down-to-earth meals as a family unit can be linked directly to our current crisis. A culture that values accomplishments, running… Read more

On Reformation Day, I Remain a Catholic
November 6, 2019 By K. Albert Little
0 Comments
In an article appearing recently in First Things magazine, ardent reformer Carl R. Trueman reflects eloquently about why he is Protestant on Reformation Day. As a non-denominational, evangelical convert to the Catholic faith I feel compelled to respond. Trueman is, in a fact, someone very important to my own conversion. It was his quote, in a rather obscure location, which made a number of cameos during my own journey into pre-Reformation, ancient Christianity. It was, rather, Trueman’s assertion and challenge,… Read more

Three Things to Tell Your Evangelical Friends About Catholicism
October 29, 2019 By K. Albert Little
0 Comments
I was a very happy, mostly holy, evangelical Christian when I began to dig into the roots of my Christian faith. It began honestly enough when the pastor of a non-denominational church I was working for asked me a question about which came first, Scripture or Tradition. I was surprised, quite frankly, when my research to try and find the answer led me to the historical development, the creation, of the biblical canon. I was surprised to learn that the… Read more

Did the Gospel Writers Get Facts Right But Their Stories Wrong?
October 27, 2019 By K. Albert Little

In the most recent episode of Justin Brierley’s fantastic series The Big Conversation, biblical scholars on opposing sides of the spectrum debated and discussed the reliability of the Gospels. It was the famous agnostic, former evangelical Bible scholar Bart Ehrman in conversation with Christian New Testament expert Peter J. Williams and, if you haven’t heard it yet, it’s definitely worth a watch. A lot was said—a lot wasn’t said—and in an hour long conversation there’s only so much ground that… Read more
