Product Description
Product Description
No one would dare to suggest that C. S. Lewis’s Mere Christianity is anything less than a brilliant explanation and defense of the Faith. But as robust, wise and ardent as it is, still it is incomplete. It begins our banquet at the table of the Lord, but doesn’t take us all the way to the final course.
That is what Dwight Longenecker’s new book, More Christianity, does. It fills our plates with the fullness of the Christian Faith found only in the Catholic Church. Lest someone think Longenecker is presuming to piggyback or cash in on Lewis’ work, or to set himself up as Lewis’ successor, that is not the case. What he does—and does brilliantly—is present the doctrine of the Church with succinct explanations of topics that arise in Catholic/Protestant discussion: the Marian dogmas, the papacy, the Mass, purgatory, the communion of saints, the rosary and more.
In Longenecker’s skilled hands, More Christianity rounds out the meal so deliciously served up by Lewis in Mere Christianity.

Thorough and respectful, Dec 27 2011
By Tracy in ND - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: More Christianity: Finding the Fullness of the Faith - Expanded Revised Edition (Paperback)
Fr. Longenecker has done an excellent job of explaining why Catholic theology is "more" without degrading what others believe. In fact, I found it interesting to understand why and where certain beliefs came from. Ever wondered why human sacrifice was done? Father explains it and gave me a sympathy for those who practiced it when I realized what they were actually trying to do. I've read many apologetics books as a convert myself and I have to say I think Father's is one of the best out there. I would not hesitate to give it to someone asking questions for fear there was anything insulting in it. There isn't. An excellent book and I highly recommend it!
