A BLUE COLLAR ANSWER TO PROTESTANTISM
— John Martignoni
— Foreword by Johnnette Benkovic Williams
HOW TO EXPLAIN AND DEFEND CATHOLIC TEACHING USING COMMON SENSE, SIMPLE LOGIC, AND THE BIBLE
Popular author and TV and radio host John Martignoni has written a book that highlights the flaws in Protestant teaching — using something that is in rather short supply in today’s culture: common sense. He throws in a little simple logic too. He uses the Bible as the background for his plain yet provocative analysis of numerous underlying problems with Protestantism as a whole and then focuses on specific Bible passages to ask a number of tough questions regarding individual Protestant doctrines and dogmas.
Catholics can use this book not only to respond effectively to questions from family members, friends, co-workers, neighbors, and even strangers about why they believe what they believe but also to ask questions of their own — questions that will leave the Protestants in their lives struggling to come up with logically and scripturally consistent answers and that will, hopefully, lead them to some serious introspection.
With simple, clear-cut explanations, Martignoni lays out the reasons why Protestantism, as a whole and in its individual parts, is illogical and lacking in both common sense and biblical sense. In page after page, you will find concise, candid, power-packed arguments from Scripture, history, and just plain rational thinking, along with thirty questions to ask Protestants about what they believe and why. This treasure trove of apologetics will teach you about:
- What happens when doctrine is determined by personal interpretation
- How Protestants view sin and infallibility (brace yourself)
- The rebellion against the ministerial priesthood and the rejection of doctrinal consistency
- How forensic justification makes God a liar
Paperback. 188 pages.“One of the great attractions of Christianity is that it is an intellectually consistent whole. In other words, no matter how hard you question it, it makes sense. The Reformation shattered Christianity, however, and began to teach confused versions of the Faith. In A Blue Collar Answer to Protestantism, John Martignoni, in highly accessible style, uncovers the inconsistencies in Protestantism. He makes clear how abandoning Catholic unity, far from restoring true faith, introduced misunderstandings and contradictions. The more we take to heart his arguments, the greater our chances of bringing the full truth of God’s love in Jesus Christ to all the nations.”
