Most Apologetics answer particular objections to the Faith, but to really understand and defend your Faith, you must first understand - and be able to explain - the basic principles of Catholic theology. More than any other theologian, St. Thomas Aquinas can guide you to this wisdom. Proclaimed the Universal Doctor of the Church, St. Thomas starts from the ground up giving you an entire system of Catholic thought that will instantly enable you to answer anyone -- Protestants, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists or even Pagans!
How to Crack the Apologetics of the Summa
If you have ever
opened St. Thomas' great work, the Summa Theologica, you probably felt like
you were reading a foreign language. Maybe you gave up before you even began!
Now in The Apologetics of St. Thomas Aquinas, Mark McNeil gives you the essential
tools to understand St. Thomas' thought. You will quickly learn the meaning
of all the important terms St. Thomas uses and his basic methods of thinking,
all in a fast-paced presentation that makes learning easy with funny and interesting,
real-life examples like parenting and even working on your car!
You'll discover that St. Thomas was so secure in the truth, that he was always
fair, charitable and even friendly when answering his challengers. Mark will
show you how to defend the faith by beginning like St. Thomas "with what
you can agree on." So if you are debating a Protestant, you will learn
to begin with the Bible. If you're talking to a Jew you'll begin with the Old
Testament. If you're debating a Muslim you'll begin with the truth that there
is one God who reveals Himself.
Grow in the Virtues of a True Apologist
Mark relates that
in a vision near the end of his life, St. Thomas saw that in comparison to the
majesty of God, his work was "only straw" and from that time until
his death he wrote no more. On receiving Christ in the Eucharist for the last
time he said, "I wish to receive thee Price: of my redemption, Viaticum
of my pilgrimage, for love of whom I have fasted, prayed, taught and labored.
Never have I said anything against thee. If I have, it was in ignorance, and
I do not persist in my ignorance. I leave the correction of my work to the Holy
Catholic Church, and in that obedience I pass from this life." Also, perhaps
most importantly, you'll learn the true secrets of virtue behind being a great
apologist. Because as Mark reveals, although he may have been the greatest mind
the Church has ever known, St. Thomas was a model of humility - a virtue which
all apologists must cultivate in order to convert souls.
Armed with the principles taught by Mark McNeil in The Apologetics of St. Thomas
- beginning with the existence and the attributes of God and covering virtually
every aspect of Catholic doctrine - you'll be able to quickly pinpoint what
is true and false in any position you face. Order your set of tapes or CDs today
