Books by Robert Barron

In a time of discouragement, how can the Church renew itself and its outreach to all people? Bishop Robert Barron insists that a "dumbed down" Catholicism cannot succeed in today's highly educated society - instead, the Church needs to draw upon its great theological heritage in order to renew its hope in Christ.

Robert Barron is one of the Catholic Church's premier theologians and author of the influential The Priority of Christ. In this volume, Barron sets forth a thoroughgoing vision for an evangelical catholic theology that is steeped in the tradition and engaged with the contemporary world. Striking a balance between academic rigor and accessibility, the book covers issues of perennial interest in the twenty-first-century church: who God is, how to rightly worship him, and how his followers engage contemporary culture. Topics include the doctrine of God, Catholic theology, philosophy, liturgy, and evangelizing the culture. This work will be of special interest to readers concerned about the so-called "new atheism."
