[book and purchase information] [originally posted on 10-1-07] *** I think it would be well worth it also, at this juncture, to clarify exactly what the intention of that book was. It is not biblical commentary per se (though it heavily touches upon that due to its subject matter), but something a bit different, and, I think, unique in Catholic apologetic literature (it was initially the conception of my publisher that was presented to me). It’s all made very clear... Read more

My Opponent Split Before It Was Over, Every Time (!) This just occurred to me, after writing two papers in response to the anti-Catholic polemicist Jason Engwer, whom I have sparred with as early as 2000. I can recall four times where some anti-Catholic was gonna put me in my place and refute me and shut me up once and for all, and (whaddya know!) it never happened.

Ward Ricker is an atheist who (as so often) was formerly a self-described “fundamentalist”. He likes to poke holes in the Bible and “prove” that it is a terrible and “evil” book, not inspired, hopelessly contradictory, etc. He put together a 222-page book called Unholy Bible (2019): available for free as a pdf file.

Ward wrote in his book: “I... Read more
