The Roman Catholic Church's Arrogant False Claims - Paperback

by Hendrick Park (Author)

The Roman Catholic Church's Arrogant False Claims grounds its critique of that body's doctrines, pronouncements and practices on the authoritative teachings embedded in the Bible. The author, Hendrick Park, a retired minister of the United Church of Canada, brings to his analysis insights gained from his work on a doctoral degree in theology from Emmanuel College, University of Toronto, and his research for two other books: The Roman Catholic Church--A Critical Appraisal and What is the True Christianity?

When Jesus spent forty days in the wilderness and faced the devil's temptations, he responded three times with bold claims that the people of God ought to trust in the authority of God's word. As heirs to that witness to the truth of life with God, Christians in today's church are called to preach, teach and live together in the same way--leaning on God's word.

The Roman Catholic Church's Arrogant False Claims enumerates the church's claims, offers a critique, reviews the church's history, evaluates the papacy and the actions of the Second Vatican Council and analyzes the church's doctrines and dogmas.

This treatment of the significant issues facing half of the world's Christians brings the Scriptures into conversation with the practices and teachings of the church's largest single tradition. Whether you find those claims attractive or alarming, you will discover in The Roman Catholic Church's Arrogant False Claims food for your thoughtful reflections on the faith.
