Fast answers to anti-Catholic claims!

If you’re looking for solid Catholic answers to common Protestant challenges, but don’t have lots of time, then reach for The One-Minute Apologist.

Here renowned Catholic apologist Dave Armstrong (author of A Biblical Defense of Catholicism and The Catholic Verses) has assembled over sixty of the claims and arguments that Protestants (of all stripes) most frequently level against the Church. Drawing on a lifetime of study — in Scripture, history, and the works of Catholic and Protestant theologians — he delivers the essential Catholic replies to each claim, packaged for you in a compact and uniquely usable format.

And since he’s a convert from Evangelicalism, Armstrong presents these anti-Catholic claims with an insider’s accuracy — using the special terms, references, and follow-up arguments that you’re mostly likely to hear in real-world encounters — and responds to them in a way Protestants can understand and appreciate.

The One-Minute Apologist is concise, but never superficial. It cites or quotes more than a thousand Scripture verses, along with the words of scores of saints and scholars — including many respected Protestant sources. Packing centuries of learning and wisdom into just a few tightly structured pages, The One-Minute Apologist decisively refutes common Protestant claims such as:

  • “The Bible is the only infallible source of theological truth.”
  • “Peter is not the ‘rock’ to which Jesus referred.”
  • “Celibacy for priests is unnatural and unbiblical.”
  • “The Catholic Mass is an abomination.”
  • “True Christians cannot fall away from salvation.”
  • “Mary had other children besides Jesus.”
  • “Indulgences allow Catholics to ‘indulge’ in sin.”
  • “Venerating the saints is a form of idolatry.”
  • “The Catholic ban on contraception has no scriptural basis.”
  • And over 50 other pervasive Protestant objections to Catholic doctrine and practice!
  • More accessible than thick theological tomes, more substantial than tracts, and better organized than other “quick answer” books, The One-Minute Apologist is the one source you’ll find yourself turning to whenever you have the need to defend the Catholic Faith quickly, credibly, and well.
