Christianity is Credible - by Louis-Marie de Blignieres (Paperback)

About the Book

This is an English translation of the French edition published in 2019.

Book Synopsis

While faith is a gift from God, it is not a leap in the dark. According to the Catholic Church, human beings can, by sifting the evidence and using their minds well, reach the conclusion that Jesus Christ is the Saviour of mankind. They can then ask for the grace to believe all that he taught. This book of apologetics stands in a tradition going back to the earliest days of the Church, and which includes such luminaries as St Augustine, Pascal, and Cardinal Newman. It sets forth reasons for belief in a clear, attractive and convincing way. As such, it should be appreciated by any open-minded and honest enquirer.

Review Quotes

The work of commending the Gospels for their historical credibility may seem pedestrian in the eyes of a theologian. But the ordinary person, if they have an enquiring mind, will see in it an absolutely essential task. I expect Christianity is Credible to prove a very useful apologetic text. -Aidan Nichols, O.P., author of Criticising the Critics: Catholic Apologias for Today

At a time when the understanding of truth is muddled, Fr. Crean's translation of Christianity is Credible by Fr. de Blignières upholds the perennial standard of the Church that rejects both fideism and rationalism. Fr. de Blignières' work of apologetics dives into depths of divine revelation with the anchor of natural reason, hence uniting supernatural faith with our God-given reason. By addressing the pivotal claims of Christianity in clarity and pith, this book provides an unmatched account of the birth of our Faith. -Derya Little, author of From Islam to Christ: One Woman's Path through the Riddles of God
