Subtitled Essays in Christian Apologetics and published by Ignatius Press in 1988, this collection treats the basic elements of Christianity and Catholicism. It is arranged in three parts that correspond to what every religion has: beliefs for the intellect, a moral code for the will, and worship for the body and imagination. Each essay explains and defends a point of faith and shows its relevance to life.
