If you're interested in England's modern defenders of the Catholic Church, this book is for you. Karl Keating dives into the lives of John Henry Newman, Hilaire Belloc, Ronald Knox, and more--and takes a look into their most famous works and apologetic encounters. He not only details their backgrounds and biographies, but their most famous apologetic encounters as well. I would say that this book is more of a history/biography of theological controversies and the men who took them on than an actual guide to the apologetic methods of refuting attacks on the Catholic faith.If you're interested in the history behind these debates, this book is for you. Keating successfully allows the writings of the men themselves to "tell the story" behind the altercations, which allows the reader to dive into the source texts. Everything is faithfully footnoted and cited, which makes for easy studying. Recommended for Catholics interested in modern heology from a historical and "boots on the ground" perspective.

Karl Keating's book titled CONTROVERSIES showed how knowledge and logic can undermine distortion, false assumptions, and false history. The debates between Catholic scholars and anti-Catholic critics showed the precision of thought and knowledge of serious Catholics when confronted by propaganda. The book is a reminder what can happen when men are too conceited and apathetic in their attacks on Catholicism especially in Great Britain.The first controversy was a debate between Charles Kingsley(1819-1875)and Cardinal John Henry Newman(1801-1890). Kingsley tried to claim that Catholic clergy were not concerned with truth and that Newman held to the same view in spite of the fact Kingsley should have known better than to make such a statement. Newman DEMANDED that Kingsley either prove his assertions or admit that he (Kingsley)was wrong. Kingsley blundered by either evading the false claims or inventing new ones. What may have stunned Kingsley was how determined and careful Newman was by insisting that Kingsley admit his error(s). Kingsley could not recover from the fact that a Catholic (a convert)showed Kingsley false statements as bluff and sloppy thinking.The next sections of the book focused on Hiliaire Belloc (1870-1953). Belloc disputed Haldane (1892-1964)who was a Communist. Part of the debate concentrated on Haldane's support for the Soviet "scientist" Lysenko (1898-1976)who opposed Father Mendel's (1822-1884)theory of genetics. While the debate was polite, the fact Lysenko's sloppy thinking has collapsed and that Father Mendel's theory has been upheld should settle the debate.Belloc also disputed Dean Inge (1860-1954)re the misunderstanding of the Real Presence and the Immaculate Conception. Belloc also undermined Inge's view that the Catholic Church was "foreign" to Great Britain. Belloc reminded Inge and other readers by emphasizing the contributions of Catholicism to English Civilization. Belloc showed that after the Catholic Church was established in England c 597 AD, the people of the British Isles acquired learning, architecture,farming, etc. Catholic England included Chaucer (1340-1400), St. Anselm (1035-1109),Canon Law, Common Law,etc. In other words, Catholicism was historically crucial to the people of the British Isles. Belloc also cited St. Bede (670-735)and St. Thomas More (1478-1536)as examples of those Catholics who were important English historical figures. Belloc could have also cited the Irish Celtic Catholic Church which was established earlier.Another controversy was between Knox (1888-1957)and Lunn 1888-1974). Lunn could not explain why so many people supported the Catholic Faith which seemed so unreasonable. Lunn was an agnostic at the time. However, Knox demonstrated that men of intellectual achievement contributed so much to Catholicism. One could guess the Father Knox won the debate when he received Lunn into the Catholic Faith. What may have caused Lunn to change his mind was Knox's reference to the historic Catholic Church which should impress men regardless of their religious preferences.Later Lunn defended the Catholic Church when some Englishmen chided the Catholic Church for all the evils in history. Lunn reminded readers that Pope Benedict XV (1914-1922)worked feverishly to avoid W.W. I while the British House of Lords did NOTHING to stop that terrible war. H.G. Wells (1866-1946)was so anti-Catholic that during W.W. II, he wanted the "allies" to bomb Rome and the Vatican in spite of the invaluable aid Catholics gave to save European refugees. Lunn also raised other hard questions. Catholics were supposedly against science. However, Lunn reminded readers that the Catholic Book Club of American marketed books on mathematics and sciences.Many Catholic scholars have not been intimidated by "popular opinion." Father Thurston, S.J. (1856-1939)underminded the false history of a popular book by Prof. Lea. Lea's book had errors re the history of the Catholic Sacraments and litergy. Coulton (1858-1947)challenged Father Thurston to find ten to twelve errors from ten pages of Lea's book, and the page sequence would be chosen from a neutral "referee." Father Thurston, being a thorough Jesuit, did so with ease causing ill will and consternation. When those who tried to mislead readers about the book title, Father Thurston emphasized the book title was Lea's work titled HISTORY OF CONFESSIONS AND INDULGENCES. Basically Father Thurston cited the Catholic Sacraments to early Church History including the time of St. Patrick (c 370-461). Father Thurston showed that the Catholic Church was and is very social and has appealed to so many different peoples.Karl Keating ended this book with a conversation with an auto salesman who tried to impress Keating with a car's sound system. When Keating said he was not interested in a sophisticated sound system, the surprised salesman asked Keating what did Keating do when he drove. Keating responded, "I think." Keating's edited book titled CONTROVERSIES is one of the those books that showed clear thinking and history.April 1, 2012 (Palm Sunday)James E. Egolf

I give this book a 4 star because it got me more interested in the controversies surrounding the conversion of such men as Newman, Lunn and Knox. Unfortunately it is very difficult to find any of the books listed (other than Newman's apologia). I also ran across what I think to be a better summary of the conflict between Thurston and G.G. Coulton over H.C. Lea in Fr. Shannon's "Medieval Inquisition". Undoubtedly the best section in "Controversies" is Thurston's battle with Coulton over Lea. If anyone is interested in the Medieval Inquisition I would recommend Bernard Hamilton and Walter Ullmann (which in my opinion is the only reason to get the Fr. Shannon book as well, for the quotes from Ullman and Thurston).It was nice of Karl Keating to let the authors speak for themselves mostly, keeping his introduction brief and merely setting up the history of the characters. Also, though I am not a fan of Belloc's lack of referencing, I do engoy Belloc's prose and sense of humour. Despite the length, the book is a quick read.
