    November 05, 2005: Prejudice runs deep. I know for I have spent years unlearning things I ?knew? for more than thirty years. A non-Catholic myself, I actually became fearful before completing this book that Scott Hahn was going to persuade me I HAD to become Catholic if I was going to approach my faith with intellectual honesty while taking the Bible seriously (issues of great importance to me). The arguments are presented with simple clarity and Biblical authority that rings true. They are arguments that conflicted with my prejudices, but not with Biblical teaching. Perhaps stronger even than the logic, however, is the reality that Hahn fought against that logic every step of the way. Coming from a non-Catholic background himself, and steeped in anti-Catholic teaching, in-depth study drew him against his intense resistance, to embrace the Catholic faith. This is a brilliant book, very dangerous to deep rooted prejudice, but giving a wealth of insight into the Biblical foundation of key Catholic beliefs and traditions. It is invaluable for Catholic and non-Catholic alike. I highly recommend it to anyone wishing to understand the teachings of the Catholic church, from either inside or outside. I will also give fair warning to those who cherish a strong anti-Catholic bias -- this is a dangerous book to read if you are intent on holding onto that bias. My respect for Catholic Brothers and Sisters has multiplied greatly, this book being a catalyst in the process. I don?t know how to pay higher tribute to an author than to say ?Thank you for helping me see old things with new eyes.? My understanding of my own faith, and the many core beliefs we share is deeper and richer today because of this book.

    July 01, 2005: This book is a must read for any person seeking to understand the Catholic faith. It is great to let a former Protestant theologan tackle some of the issues many Catholic and Protestants think they have problems with. As we growth in our faiths, we forget the lessons learned by the previous Christians over the last 2000 years. Let Scott Hahn do your homework! He is a gifted intellect and expresses himself in a very logical and readable manner.
