Description
The highly anticipated follow-as much as Bishop Robert Barron’s hugely successful Catholicism: A Journey to the Faith
As secularism gains influence, and increasing numbers see religion as dull and backward, Robert Barron wants to light up how beautiful, intelligent, and relevant the Catholic faith is.
In this compelling new book—drawn from conversations with and narrated by award-winning Vatican journalist John L. Allen, Jr.—Barron, founder of Word on Fire Catholic Ministries, proclaims in vivid language the goodness and truth of the Catholic tradition. Through Barron’s smart, practical, artistic, and theological observations in addition to personal anecdotes—from engaging atheists on YouTube to discussing his days as a young diehard baseball fan from Chicago—To Light a Fire at the Earth covers prodigious ground.
Touching on the whole thing from Jesus to prayer, science, movies, atheism, the religious life, the fate of Church in brand new times, attractiveness, art, and social media, Barron reveals why the Church matters lately and how Catholics can intelligently have interaction a skeptical world.
