  Why I Am Roman Catholic

  Matthew Levering

  The Roman Catholic tradition in Christianity is breathtaking, complex, and rich in insight about what it means to follow God. But what does it look like to claim this tradition as one's own? And how does this intersect with the reality of our daily and personal lives?
  In this vulnerable and succinct volume, theologian Matthew Levering addresses the heart of these questions. Bringing together personal memoir and theology, he reflects on why he identifies as Roman Catholic, and considers how this tradition addresses what it means to follow and participate in the life of the Triune God as a finite creature. Rather than shy away from the challenges this tradition presents, Levering presses into these challenges to offer an honest yet hopeful account of being Roman Catholic.
  'The Ecumenical Dialogue Series' seeks to foster ecumenical dialogue across theological differences. In each volume, contributors explore what it means to be Christian, what it means to identify with a specific tradition in Christianity (Protestant, Roman Catholic, and Eastern Orthodox), the challenges and benefits of their tradition, and how they can create dialogue and unity across historically tense division.

  Francis Schaeffer's Classic Analysis of the Rise and Decline of Western Thought and Culture
  As one of the foremost evangelical thinkers of the twentieth century, Francis A. Schaeffer long pondered the fate of declining Western culture. Profoundly aware of the similarities modern culture shares with societies that came before, Schaeffer embarked on a journey to uncover the movements that gave rise to modern culture and resulted in the decline of the Christian worldview. 
  Forty years later, his classic book How Should We Then Live? is as relevant today as it was when it was first published. Schaeffer argues that the erosion of society begins with a shift away from biblical truth. To support this claim, he walks readers through history, beginning with the fall of Rome, through the Middle Ages, the Enlightenment, and up to the twentieth century. This latest edition analyzes the reasons for modern society's state of affairs and presents the solution: living by the Christian ethic, fully accepting God's revelation, and affirming the morals, values, and meaning of the Bible.
  
  - A Theology Classic: Written by renowned Christian philosopher Francis A. Schaeffer
  - For Those Interested in Philosophy and History: Engages with the ideas of Plato, John Locke, Thomas Jefferson, and Voltaire, and examines the art, architecture, and ideas that shaped modern society 
  - Explores the Importance of a Christian Worldview: A practical assessment of the evolution of culture and the steadfast alternative offered by the biblical perspective

  This book contains information about two religions that share similarities and differences, and, sadly, seem to be at conflict which each other a lot in the modern age. However, reality dictates that these can both be found in the Middle East, despite one being more dominant than the other. The religions in this book are: 
  Islam - Islam, a faith that has shaped the course of history and continues to influence the lives of over a billion people worldwide, is often misunderstood and oversimplified. Rooted in the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad, Islam emerged in the 7th century CE in the Arabian Peninsula and has since grown into a rich and diverse tradition encompassing a wide range of beliefs, practices, and interpretations. At its core, Islam is characterized by a profound belief in the oneness of God (Allah), the importance of community, and a commitment to ethical living. 
  Judaism - Judaism, one of the world's oldest monotheistic religions, has a rich tapestry of history, belief, and practice that has evolved over millennia. Rooted in the covenant between God and the Jewish people, Judaism is not only a faith but also a cultural and ethical system that has profoundly influenced Western civilization and continues to shape the lives of millions around the globe. This book aims to explore the intricate layers of Jewish thought, practice, and identity, providing readers with a comprehensive understanding of what it means to be Jewish in both historical and contemporary contexts.
