Evangelical is not Enought (new copy)
Category: Religion: Apologetics
Author: Thomas Howard
Copyright/published Year: 1984 by Ignatius
ISBN: 0898702216
Binding: paperback
In this deeply moving narrative, Thomas Howard describes his
pilgrimage from Evangelicalism (which he loves and reveres as the
religion of his youth) to liturgical Christianity. He soon
afterward became a Roman Catholic. He describes Evangelicalism
with great sympathy and then examines more formal, liturgical
worship with the freshness of someone discovering for the first
time what his soul had always hungered for. This is a book of
apologetics without polemics. Non-Catholics will gain an
appreciation of the formal and liturgical side of Catholicism.
Catholics will see with fresh eyes the beauty of their tradition.
Worship, prayer, the Blessed Virgin, the Mass, and the liturgical
year are taken one after the other, and what may have seemed
routine and repetitive suddenly comes to life under the
enchanting wand of Howard's beautiful prose.
Howard unfolds for us just what occurs in the vision and
imagination of a Christian who, nurtured in the earnestness of
Protestant Evangelicalism, finds himself yearning for
"whatever-it-is" that has been there in the Church for 2000
years. It traces Howard's soul-searching and shows why he
believes the practices of the liturgical Church are an invaluable
aid for any Christian's spiritual life. Reminiscent of the style
and scope of Newman, Lewis and Knox, this book is destined to be
a classic.
