No, I did not buy this book, but someone gave me a copy, and I am grateful they did.
I have just finished a slow read of Karlo Broussard’s new book, Prepare the Way (Catholic Answers, 2018). I say a “slow” read, because this book is best digested piece by piece, understanding that it will be a useful reference source for Christian apologetics for many years to come.
This book is not designed primarily as a defense of the Catholic faith, but as a systematic presentation of answers to the many obstacles to Christian belief posed by skeptics of all types who raise philosophical, theological, and historical challenges to belief in God and in Christian revelation.
While no book can cover every possible objection to Christian truths, Karlo Broussard’s book addresses dozens of major obstacles to belief. It offers clear and concise refutations to objections dealing with such issues as knowledge of objective truth, God’s existence, questions about the Bible and Gospel sources, the existence and person of Jesus, and some challenges to Christianity and, particularly, to Catholicism.
While written in a popular style that will be understandable to most readers, Prepare the Way still manages to refute difficult philosophical, theological, and historical objections to belief with clarity and sufficient depth so as to stand the scrutiny of skeptical scholars.
The book also has four appendices offering more detailed treatment of important topics: universal skepticism, the principle of causality, the real meaning of freedom, and the very important problem of evil. There are also over four hundred carefully detailed endnotes, some of which contain further explanations.
From my own perspective as a philosopher, I can attest that the author exhibits evident competence in the handling of philosophical topics, especially with respect to issues concerning epistemological skepticism and the proofs for God’s existence.
While the book is written to help apologists with strategies aimed at overcoming the obstacles to belief by those they hope to convert, it is still an excellent resource for anyone honestly trying to discover the rational basis for true revelation in a world beset with confusing and skeptical counter-claims to faith.
This splendid selection of lucid arguments makes clear the reasons to believe in God and sound morality as well as in the essential truth of Christian revelation. In an atmosphere of declining faith and rising cynicism, this is a much needed work.
Both believers and unbelievers will want to own this book.
