Blue Collar Apologetics: How to Explain and Defend Catholic Teaching Using Common Sense, Simple Logic, and the Bible

Learn how to defend your Catholic faith this book and many others can help you!

The author does a great job articulating the logical (and Biblical) problems with Protestantism and “sola scriptura.”If you’re a non-Catholic Christian who cares about Truth, you owe it to your integrity to read this book and consider how you reconcile your beliefs with the deep inconsistencies inherent in Protestantism (or “non-denominational” Christianity).It’s also a great read for Catholics who haven’t yet realized or appreciated why it’s so important to have an infallible authority—i.e., the Church—in addition to Scripture.Well done, John Martignoni, for putting into words why a Christianity divorced from the Catholic Church makes no logical sense.

John covers all the major differences between Catholic and Protestant beliefs and how to answer Protestant questions as to why Catholics believe what the Catholic Church teaches regarding faith and morality.

Purchase for the wife; can/will follow up later this year.

Very well written and easy to follow. It was nice to have issues and questions explained in such a way that is understandable to regular people. Highly recommend this book.

This is a great companion book to the audio programs Mr. Martignoni has on his Bible Christian Society website. It goes into more depth about how to evangelize others and gives terrific examples. The only improvement I would suggest is an index in the back of the book.I should mention that the reason I am not listed as a verified purchaser is because I had this on my wish list and it was given to me as a gift.

It’s great to have a book like this available to the Catholic faithful who need a summary overview of what the Church teaches. My hope is that this book will bring individuals to desire to learn more about the Church’s teachings and ultimately strengthen their relationship with Christ.

I have read many books on Catholic apologetics over the past 20 years. This book has much in common with many of those books in terms of providing a basic understanding of Catholic beliefs on such topics as the pope, Mary, purgatory and the sacraments. What John’s book has that most apologetics books do not have is an excellent playbook and strategy for actually responding to questions from family members, friends, co-workers, neighbors or even strangers about why we believe what we believe as Catholics. Based upon common sense, logic and an intimate knowledge of Sacred Scripture, in Blue Collar Apologetics John offers excellent, practical suggestions on how to respond in a loving way to anyone who has questions about various Catholic beliefs. Because these questions will most often come from non-Catholics with varying degrees of Biblical knowledge themselves, John’s technique of using provocative questions and numerous passages from the Bible to defend the Catholic faith is not only an excellent strategy, but it will also undoubtedly catch many questioners by surprise because they often assume that there is no biblical justification for many of our Catholic beliefs. Even if the reader does not have the opportunity to defend the faith on a regular basis, this book is an excellent source for simple, clear-cut explanations for the basis of many of the Catholic Church’s teachings, which will deepen the reader’s own understanding of the faith as a defense against the constant attacks on the faith!

a must have book for any catholic who wants to defend the faith, simple logic, common sense and the bible 👌
