Catholic apologetics is back. It’s everywhere. As a professional apologist, Mark Brumley sees this renaissance as an immensely good thing—an essential part of the Church’s evangelical mission. Even so, grave dangers attend the apologetics renaissance. Some of them are so serious that, left unaddressed, they threaten to undermine the good apologetics can accomplish. Brumley calls these dangers the seven deadly sins of Catholic apologetics and evangelization. Like the seven deadly sins of the moral life, they are deadly not merely as isolated, individual acts but as vices or evil habits—habitual tendencies to act in a certain way. In this volume, Brumley exposes them for you.
