Synopsis

Perhaps nothing splits apart Catholics and Protestants like the topic of salvation. The arguments rage over how we're saved, when we're saved, and whether we can be assured of salvation. And Protestants fight among themselves as much as they fight with Catholics. No one understands the various arguments better than Catholic Answers' Jimmy Akin--a former Protestant himself. For the last 15 years, Jimmy has studied the issue of salvation, taking into account Church teachings and the various Protestant interpretations, while focusing primarily on Scripture. And now he's taken his findings and put them into a noteworthy book, "The Salvation Controversy." If you want to understand both the Catholic and Protestant positions on salvation--and be equipped to defend the Church's teachings--there's no better guide than "The Salvation Controversy." It's a complete guide to salvation that no Catholic should be without.

About this title

About the Author:

Jimmy Akin was born in Texas and raised in Arkansas. He grew up nominally Protestant but at age 20 experienced a profound conversion to Christ. Planning on becoming a Protestant pastor or seminary professor, he began an intensive study of the Bible. But the more he immersed himself in Scripture, the more he found it to support the Catholic faith. Eventually, he was compelled in conscience to enter the Catholic Church, which he did in 1992. His conversion story, "A Triumph and a Tragedy," appeared in "Surprised By Truth." Akin is director of apologetics at Catholic Answers, a contributing editor to "This Rock" magazine, a weekly guest on the global radio program "Catholic Answers Live," and the author of several books, including "Mass Confusion: The Do's and Don'ts of Catholic Worship."
