There are questions about God that anyone might ponder in the dead of night. In this second book, a skeptical narrator brings these questions to a beach in Tenerife, posing them to those best equipped to answer: Saint John, the disciple who wrote, "In the beginning was the Word"; Saint Athanasius, who defended the Nicene faith at the cost of multiple exiles; Saint Augustine, who spent nine years searching for the origin of evil; and Saint Luke, the physician. Seven conversations, an open Bible, and no easy answers.
In this book, you will discover:
What the Bible says about the one God, and why Christians do not believe in three gods.
Where the New Testament affirms that Jesus Christ is God—examined verse by verse.
Why the Holy Spirit is not merely a force, but a divine person.
What is meant by "three persons and one nature," and what took place at the Council of Nicaea.
How someone can be truly God and truly man.
The great problem of evil: its origins, the perspectives offered by the Bible and Saint Augustine, and how to address the suffering of the innocent and the occurrence of natural disasters—moving beyond mere platitudes.
All biblical passages are cited verbatim from the Catholic Bible of Torres Amat and explained verse by verse. Each conversation also includes a section titled "What Should Not Be Said," addressing explanations that are supported by neither the Bible nor the Church.
This is the second book in the "Apologetics of the Catholic Church" series—a nine-volume collection featuring dialogues with the apostles, the saints, and the great thinkers of Christianity.
