Not by Faith Alone: A Biblical Study of the Catholic Doctrine of Justification

As never before, the Catholic Church has been called upon to be the defender of Scripture and preserver of truth in modern times. Not by Faith Alone will set the biblical and historical record straight. But more important, as you learn the real truth about salvation and all that it embraces, this book will offer you the means to come to one of the deepest relationships with God that you have ever experienced. Faith alone? Is it justifiable? Not biblically, and Robert Sungenis shows why. Has an Imprimatur. (773 pages)


Not by Scripture Alone: A Catholic Critique of the Protestant Doctrine of Sola Scriptura

Since the time of Martin Luther, Protestants have claimed that Scripture alone is the final, infallible rule of faith for man. In doing so, they have also claimed that Sacred Tradition and Church Authority, although helpful, are not infallible and therefore cannot serve as authorities on par with Scripture. Is this a correct understanding of Scripture, Tradition and the Church, and does either Scripture or Tradition teach that sola scriptura should be the sole guiding rule for decisions on faith and morals? A thorough investigation into this controversy reveals that the answer is a resounding, NO. As never before, the Catholic Church has been called upon to be the defender of Scripture and preserver of truth in modern times. Not by Scripture Alone will set the biblical and historical record straight. But more important, as you learn the real truth about Scripture, Tradition, and the Church, this book will offer you the means to come to a very deep relationship with God and know how best to glorify him on this earth. This book is the single most important systematic, logical, sustained, direct, multifaceted treatment of this central issue that I know of. - Peter Kreeft (656 pages)


Not by Bread Alone: The Biblical and Historical Evidence for the Eucharistic Sacrifice of the Catholic Mass

Since the time of Martin Luther, many have claimed that the Catholic Mass is an unbiblical practice, that it repudiates the once-for-all sacrifice of Christ on the cross of Calvary as expressed in the book of Hebrews. Still others have denied that Christ is truly present in the Eucharist. Do these criticisms have any validity? A thorough investigation of Scripture and history reveals that the answer is a resounding NO. As never before, the Catholic Church has been called upon to be the defender of Scripture and preserver of truth in modern times. Not by Bread Alone will set the biblical and historical record straight. But more importantly, as you learn the real truth about the Catholic Mass, this book will offer you the means to come to one of the deepest relationships with God you have ever experienced. Robert Sungenis has prepared a wonderful defense and explanation of the Holy Eucharist based on Sacred Scripture and Catholic theology. This is a solid Catholic doctrine regarding the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. It is a fine new look at traditional Catholic Eucharistic theology geared to the eager and fervent Catholic priest and lay person. - Most Reverend Fabian W. Bruskewitz, Bishop of Lincoln, Nebraska Robert Sungenis' work - all of it - fills the word exhaustive with the fresh, and even exhilarating, significance. As with his Not by Faith Alone, one feels that if readers would read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest, this volume on the Eucharist, the questions would be answered. If this book were a hotel, it would get five stars. - Thomas Howard, Ph. D., Author: Evangelical is Not Enough Careful and complete! Robert Sungenis' examination of the Catholic teaching on the Mass is a careful, step by theological step understanding of a key doctrine. He gives the reader the Scripture passages and exegesis, the Patristic and the Conciliar documentation. This is especially useful as Eucharistic adoration increases dramatically worldwide. (400 pages)
