About this title

Synopsis

"Littlejohn and Castaldo fill a gap with this important book exploring why some leave Protestantism for another tradition. They do not trivialize, oversimplify, or condescend to this phenomenon. On the contrary, they take it with the utmost seriousness and show it must not be dismissed. Along the way, they challenge contemporary Protestant practice while simultaneously pointing to the riches offered in classical Protestantism. I highly recommend Why Do Protestants Convert? for all wrestling with ecumenical disagreements today, or seeking to help others in this process."

- Gavin Ortlund, host of Truth Unites

A strange phenomenon has gripped Protestantism in recent decades: many of its best and brightest thinkers have converted to Roman Catholicism. Likewise, many earnest, normal believers have found Protestantism shallow in doctrine, history, ethics, and worship, and made the leap to Rome.

How can Protestants make sense of this? In this short and penetrating book, originally published as a series of essays, Brad Littlejohn and Chris Castaldo insightfully diagnose the psychological, theological, and sociological factors behind Protestant conversions to Rome.

With refreshing honesty, they find many converts’ criticisms of contemporary Protestantism to be warranted, but argue that historic magisterial Protestantism has within it the answers to these objections and the resources for a Protestant renewal.
