(published in September 2002 by Our Sunday Visitor. 1394 pages with 44 additional apologetics inserts: my contribution)
By Catholic Apologist Dave Armstrong (4-13-14)
SUMMARY
The apologetics inserts explain and defend all of the basic Catholic doctrines and "controversial" issues, in capsule summary form, with more than 800 references to the Scripture and Catechism of the Catholic Church. The Catholic Answer Bible was updated as The New Catholic Answer Bible (2005): that had 44 additional articles by Dr. Paul Thigpen. It has long been my bestselling book.
The PDF e-book file contains the apologetics inserts only, not the Bible, and is available for sale only through my own booksite (follow the link below).
