The Catholic Jesus: Knowing Christ through the Church he founded

Más información sobre el libro

It's not surprising that the modern Catholic often feels under siege. On one front, we face the Twitterati and dinner-table critics, convinced that the Church has fabricated its story about Jesus, elevated an ancient rabbi to the status of God for the sake of her own power. Then we face fellow Christians, seeking to undermine the Catholic Church by claiming that our understanding and worship of Jesus - especially in the Blessed Sacrament - are 'unbiblical.' In this book, you will find the historical resources to help you hold your own and defend the traditional Catholic understanding of Jesus. * What can I say to friends who say that Jesus was a 'good man' but nothing more? * How can I counter secularist, New Age and Muslim arguments that the Church has corrupted the teaching of the real, historic Jesus? * How can I help "Bible-believing" Christians to understand the importance of the tradition of the Church which Jesus founded? An Anglo-Catholic priest and doctor of Cambridge University, Fr Thomas Plant summarises the recent work of respected biblical scholars in a short and readable form, to help Catholic Christians understand and defend the authentic tradition of Jesus which their Church has faithfully guarded and proclaimed through the centuries.
