What Catholic books are you reading at the moment?

[Stephen Spiteri]

Apart from the Bible (;)), what's on your reading list at the moment to broaden your knowledge of the Catholic faith?

On my reading list at the moment:

Upon This Rock:St. Peter and the Primacy of Rome in Scripture and the Early Church, 1999, Stephen K. Ray, San Francisco: Ignatius Press

Catholicism and Fundamentalism: The Attack on "Romanism" by "Bible Christians", 1988, Karl Keating, San Francisco: Ignatius Press

Handbook of Catholic Apologetics: Reasoned Answers to Questions of Faith, 2009, P. Kreeft, R. Tacelli, San Francisco: Ignatius Press

Not necessarily Catholic, but I'm going through Mere Christianity at the moment... good insight

[Matthew]

I'm reading Jacques Maritain's "Formal Logic." No, not a Catholic book but it's part of my overall aim to be well equipped to defend the faith.

Hey Guys,

I'm reading "Christ is passing by " by St Josemaria Escrivia.
I highly reccomend it to everyone.

I am currently reading:-

i) "Byzantine-Melkite Thinking" by Lucien Malouf, BSO
ii) "The Spirit of the Liturgy" by Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger
iii) "For the Life of the World" by Alexander Schmemann (Orthodox but a beatiful and heart-wrenching treatise on the Sacraments).
