Karl Keating is the founder and president of Catholic
Answers.
He had been working as an attorney for several years when, on leaving Mass
one Sunday, he found anti-Catholic tracts on the windshields of the cars
in the church parking lot. He wrote his own tract in reply and distributed
copies of it at the Fundamentalist church responsible for the anti-Catholic
tract. That was the start of what has become the country’s largest
lay-run apologetics and evangelization organization.
Catholic Answers was incorporated in 1982, and in 1988 Karl left the practice
of law and went into apostolic work full time. That year marked the publication
of his Catholicism and Fundamentalism, the first book to deal extensively
with challenges posed by "Bible Christians." Other books followed:
What Catholics Really Believe, Nothing But the Truth, The Usual Suspects,
and Controversies. He is at work on several more titles.
For nine years Karl served as the editor of This Rock. He has been
a columnist for the National Catholic Register and the Canadian
Catholic Review and has written for many other publications. Each Tuesday
he answers questions on "Catholic Answers Live." His avocations
include backpacking (his favorite locales are the High Sierra and the Grand
Canyon) and flying.
Books by Karl Keating published by Ignatius Press:
 Catholicism
and Fundamentalism: The Attack on "Romanism" by "Bible Christians"
What is in this book that has led so many Protestants to convert to Catholicism?
What truths are revealed that has caused so many lapsed Catholics to return
home? Find out for yourself when you read Catholicism and Fundamentalism.
This book is so insightful that it has been used as a college textbook in
theology classes across the country. Yet it is so full of heart that it
has inspired and guided Catholics everywhere to defend their faith.
 Controversies:
High Level Catholic Apologetics
In his book Controversies: High Level Catholic Apologetics, best-selling
Catholic apologist and author Karl Keating presents writings from five of
his favorite apologists who give a clear and forceful exposition of Catholic
truth. These five well-known British writers of the 20th century had strong
convictions, were not afraid of controversy and defended the truth with
vigor and charity.
Examine and learn from the writings of John Henry Newman, Hilaire Belloc,
Herbert Thurston, Arnold Lunn, and Ronald Knox. This book will introduce
you to some of the best defenses of the faith ever and provide a peek at
great minds at work.
 What
Catholics Really Believe
Karl Keating does an excellent job of clearly explaining Catholic practices
that even devout Catholics can have a difficult time explaining to others.
Keating's common sense approach to apologetics makes What Catholics Really
Believe an excellent source for anyone who is curious about "Why
do Catholics...?"
The writing style is straight forward and easy to read. Answers are backed
up with direct scriptural references -- and helpful hints and analogies
are added to make difficult concepts easier to grasp.
 The
Usual Suspects: Answering Anti-Catholic Fundamentalists
If you thought anti-Catholicism was on the wane, think again. In The Usual
Suspects you will find out who is behind the baseless new anti-Catholic
attacks and how their efforts can affect you.
Keating will open your eyes with thoroughly researched information about
the efforts, origins, and threats presented by the usual suspects. In the
process, he will give you new-found conviction in your own Catholic beliefs.
As Karl Keating defends the truth of the Catholic Church against a host
of attacks, he will confirm what you have always suspected but may not have
been able to prove. The truth wins every time.

G.K. Chesterton (1874-1936) was one of the finest Christian authors and apologists
of the past two hundred years. Raised as an agnostic, he embraced Christianity as a young man, ultimately entering the Catholic Church
in 1922. He wrote hundreds of essays, as well as novels, short stories, poetry, apologetics, literary
criticism, and nearly everything else imaginable. Dale Ahlquist, president and co-founder of the American
Chesterton Society and author of
G.K Chesterton: Apostle of Common Sense, writes, "Chesterton was equally at ease with literary and social criticism,
history, politics, economics, philosophy, and theology. His style is unmistakable, always marked
by humility, consistency, paradox, wit, and wonder. His writing remains as timely and as timeless
today as when it first appeared, even though much of it was published in throw away paper." Read more
about the life and work of this remarkable thinker, author, and apologist.

Confessions of an Ex-Feminist
by Lorraine V. Murray
Confessions is the honest and heart-rending account of a woman who was born into a Catholic family, attended parochial schools and
fully embraced the beliefs of her faith, but ran into major roadblocks in college. Amidst the radical feminist college environment of
the 1960's, she lost her faith, and her morality, jumping aboard the bandwagon of "free love." She indulged in a series of love relationships
in college, all of which crashed and burned. Despite the obvious contradiction between feminist teachings and her own experience,
Murray still believed she had to free herself from the yoke of tradition. Attaining a doctorate in philosophy, with an emphasis on the
feminist writings of Simone de Beauvoir, Murray taught philosophy in college. For many years, she launched a personal vendetta against
God and the Catholic Church in the classroom, trying to persuade students that God did not exist, mocking values Catholics hold dear,
and touted feminism as the cure for many social ills. When she discovered she was pregnant, Murray followed the route that feminists
offer as a solution for unmarried women. Much to her surprise, her abortion was a shattering emotional experience, which she grieved
over for years. It was the first tragic chink in her feminist armor.
