Der Autor über sein Buch
As I explain in the preface, "Catholicism and Fundamentalism" defends the Catholic faith against charges levied by what I term "professional anti-Catholics," people who devote their energies to attacking "Romanism." The book is not a critique of Fundamentalism as a whole but of that segment of Fundamentalism that is actively anti-Catholic.
In making the critique I explain Catholic beliefs and prove them using only authorities that non-Catholics would find convincing: Scripture, early Christian history, and common sense. I do not rely on the decrees of popes or councils, since their authority is not recognized by non-Catholics.
"Catholicism and Fundamentalism"--my first book--is written for Catholics who want to learn how to defend their faith and for non-Catholics who want to overcome myths advanced by anti-Catholics. I have been gratified over the years by the thousands of people who have written to me, saying "Catholicism and Fundamentalism" resolved questions they had or even brought them into--or back into--the Church. (For such reasons the book has not been popular with those who make their living by attacking the Church!)
"Catholicism and Fundamentalism" first appeared in 1988, and still it sells in five figures every year--a sign, I think, that the issues it addresses remain important to many people.
My latest book, "The Usual Suspects," is a supplement to "Catholicism and Fundamentalism." I think someone who enjoyed my first book will enjoy this new one.
The story of fundamentalism may be viewed in three main phases. Lesen Sie die erste Seite

Kundenrezensionen
I think this is a fine book. It makes a good, solid case for Catholicism, but, not surprisingly, that isn't the aspect of it that interested me most.
Mr. Keating is devastating in his critique of Protestant fundamentalist anti-Catholic propaganda, including Lorraine Boettner's dreadful book. I've had a great many dealings with the same kinds of people and literature -- sometimes with the very same individual specimens -- and he is precisely right in what he says about them. They are not to be trusted nor relied upon. I've found exactly the same methodological flaws in their work that he has -- to say nothing of the same tone and the same rather ungodly zeal to condemn others.
I enjoyed this book very much, and have cited it approvingly in several things that I myself have written. I recommend it highly.
The book's only significant flaws lie in the tendency of the author to:
1) Not always clearly differentiate between "anti-Catholicism" (which is morally equivalent to anti-Semitism or racism) with legitimate theological disagreement.
2) Lump together many Protestant groups that frankly don't necessarily fall under the category of "fundamentalist", ie. Evangelicals and Pentecostals.
Other than this, however, Keating has done an excellent job. He has certainly raised the standard of debate for Protestant Christians by demonstrating the obvious silliness (and in some cases, deliberate dishonesty) of several of the major "anti-Catholic" organizations. A Protestant apologist who encounters a Catholic familiar with Keating's material will have to rely on a grasp of Protestant theology, instead of (all too typical) third-rate propaganda.
This book has really caused me to think. I thank Mr. Keating for writing it. May God bless us all as we continue to search for His Truth in all its fullness.
