It is to the credit of Fr. Ralph Weimann, a theologian who lives in today's world and is particularly attentive to the current challenges of the Church, but at the same time deeply rooted in the great tradition of the Church, to have made a valuable contribution in this regard with this book. The purpose of this book is to offer a guide to show the way to Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God. To this end, in a first step, the common prejudices that supposedly speak against the faith and the Church are outlined in each chapter. In a second step, they are given an answer, based on Sacred Scripture and Tradition. Therefore, this book is a valuable help especially for disoriented believers and is also useful for every Catholic who wants to be prepared to "explain" his faith.
