But (like physical exercise) it was a \u201cgood\u201d kind of pain, and had a positive result. The idea was to provide fast answers to charges that we Catholics typically hear from our Protestant friends. Each topic gets two pages devoted to it, in a standardized format that is vaguely reminiscent of St. Thomas Aquinas\u2019 <em>Summa Theologica<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #141823;\">The title of each section is given from a negative, \u201cp<span class=\"text_exposed_show\">olemical\u201d slant: how folks object to some Catholic teaching or practice; e.g., \u201cThe Catholic Church Added Illegitimate Books to the Bible.\u201d Then a little bit longer summary statement of the objection is provided below the title. After that, \u201cthe one-minute apologist\u201d (yours truly!) gives a summary counter-statement, followed by 3-5 paragraphs or so of the Catholic argument on the point.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"text_exposed_show\" style=\"color: #141823;\">\n<p>Then there is another section, called: \u201cA Protestant Might Further Object,\u201d followed by my second defense or counter-argument. Each two-page section ends with a relevant quotation from a notable Catholic or Protestant writer.<\/p>\n<p>I usually provide several scriptural references, with additional ones footnoted.<\/p>\n<p>It has been a bestseller in its field and is still selling well after 8+ years. I think it is because the <em>Summa<\/em>-like format (from Todd) was a great idea, and because the book fills a need for quick, practical aids to sharing the faith. Most of my bestsellers are of that nature. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/davearmstrong\/2014\/04\/books-by-dave-armstrong-catholic-answer.html\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\"><em>The New Catholic Answer Bible<\/em><\/a>\u00a0has sold more than any of my\u00a0books, and it has one page devoted to each apologetics topic.
