Why We Believe: Answering Common Questions about the Catholic Faith

Michael Muller Verified Buyer
As ever, Dr. Pitre explains things in a way that is easily understood by us laymen and he doesn’t shy away from tackling the tough issues. Great stuff. With his videos and his many wonderful books (all highly recommended) I have learned more about Catholicism in the last few months than I ever did in the almost 40 years since I converted….

    Is Catholicism true? Or is it just made up? How can I explain the faith to my family or friends who no longer believe?

    In this mind-blowing series, Dr. Brant Pitre takes up the most commonly asked questions about the Catholic faith and provides clear and compelling biblical answers. He begins at the beginning--with the existence of God--and walks you step-by-step through the foundations of the faith.  Along the way, Dr. Pitre explains:

    Does God Exist? How can we know it?
    Is Jesus God? Did Jesus claim to be God? And why should we believe him?
    Peter and the Papacy?  Did Jesus establish the Catholic Church? What is the historical evidence?
    How Did We Get the Bible?  From where did the Bible come? Who decided which books got in and which didn't?
    Is the Eucharist Jesus’ Real Presence? What does the Bible teach about Jesus' Real Presence in the Eucharist?
    Why Confess to a Priest? Did Jesus arrange for us to confess our sins to a priest of the new covenant?
    Do Catholics Worship Mary? What does the Bible teach about her?
    Purgatory and Prayers for the Dead? Where is Purgatory in the Bible? Why do Catholics pray for the dead?

    If you've ever been asked any of these questions but weren't quite sure how to answer -- or if you know someone who has left the Church and no longer believes, then buckle up: this Bible study is for you. In it, you'll discover how just reasonable, biblical, and beautiful the Catholic faith really is.

Further Study Details & FAQ

A closer look at the biblical texts and sources behind this study, for those who want more detail before purchasing.

Key passages & sources examined: Key passages & sources examined: the created order as evidence for God (Romans 1:19–20); the divinity of Jesus (John 8:58; Daniel 7:13–14); Peter and the 'keys of the kingdom' (Matthew 16:18–19; Isaiah 22:19–23); Scripture and Tradition (2 Thessalonians 2:15); the Real Presence (John 6); confession (John 20:21–23); Mary as queen mother (Luke 1; Revelation 12); and purgatory (2 Maccabees 12:43–45; 1 Corinthians 3:11–15). Draws on the Catechism, C. S. Lewis's Mere Christianity, and Kreeft and Tacelli's Handbook of Catholic Apologetics.

Do I need a theology background to follow this?

No. Dr. Pitre begins with the existence of God and builds step by step, framing each session around a question people actually ask — it's designed to help you explain the faith to family or friends who no longer believe.

Is this aimed at Catholics, or also non-Catholics?

Both. It answers common objections from a biblical and historical angle, so it's useful for Catholics wanting to give reasons for their faith and for non-Catholics examining the Church's claims.

How is the material organized?

Eight self-contained sessions, each on one question — God's existence, Jesus' divinity, the papacy, the Bible, the Eucharist, confession, Mary, and purgatory. Total runtime is about 5 hours 11 minutes.
