Online ebook: “The Book of Armaments: Defending Your Catholic Faith”, by Gary Michuta

See this online text:

• The Book of Armaments: Defending Your Catholic Faith, by Gary Michuta (Eastern Catholic Re-Evangelization Center). 284 pages. Available in PDF format (on this page) at the Saint Thomas Chaldean Catholic Church, and at Scribd.com.
  • N.B., This text is a contemporary manual for Catholic Christian apologists who must explain the one true Faith to our lost brethren who follow the Protestant heresies. Among other matters, it shows how Protestants twist Scripture for their purpose, how they manipulate arguments to escape Catholic conclusions, and how Catholic Christians may respond in proposing divine truth. It is, for that reason, a text that requires serious reading. For a somewhat easier text, one may read Catholic Apologetics Guide 101: Scriptural Reference for Catholic Apologetics, by Godwin Delali Adadzie (GADEL).

On the Feast of Saint Fidelis of Sigmaringen in the Roman Rite. For more texts on Catholic Christian apologetics, please see the ebooks on our page Apologetics.
