Description
St. Francis de Sales' Defense of the Faith is a remarkable collection of writings that showcase the effectiveness of a young priest's apologetic campaign in re-evangelizing the Calvinists of the Chablais. Between 1594 and 1598, Francois, a preacher, converted 72,000 Protestants to the Catholic Faith, and St. Francis de Sales' powerful arguments are still relevant today.
These pamphlets, posted on walls and slipped under doors, demonstrate St. Francis de Sales' clever tactics in addressing questions posed by modern Protestants. Drawing on Scripture, the Fathers and Doctors of the Church, his defense of the Catholic Faith has never been equaled.
With a new cover, easier to read size, updated typesetting, and the original content, this book presents a cogent argument against Protestantism, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Catholicism and the apologetic tradition.
