Celsus was eloquent, witty, and sharp-witted. There is, accordingly, no need to improve on his language or rhetoric, let alone to add or rearrange material. Litwa simply tries to represent The True Teaching—in all its biting wit and force. The ...

Yet, many people still have questions. What are the seven sacraments? When did Jesus institute the sacraments? How did the Church recognize the sacraments? Why should Christians receive the sacraments? Father Pierre Pourrat (1871-1957) answers these ...

With the exception of Christianity, the major religions of the world have a peculiar doctrine in common.
