Amppax Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 http://www.amazon.com/Evangelical-Catholicism-Reform-21st-Century-Church/dp/0465027687 Has anyone read this book, and if so what are your thoughts? I've met Mr. Weigel briefly, and really wasn't impressed. However, I've heard interesting and good things about this book from some people, so I'm looking for more imput. Thoughts?

Byzantine Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 In Theology of the Church we were offered extra credit if we did a review of it (the prof hadn't read it and wanted opinions). I got partway through the book before I got distracted by other things. It wasn't bad, though, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Byzantine Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 (edited) Who did you take? Turko? Yes. How'd you know? Wait, you weren't in that class, were you? Edited May 26, 2013 by Byzantine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amppax Posted May 26, 2013 Author Share Posted May 26, 2013 No, I had Sirilla. I just figured that since it couldn't have been Sirilla or Hildebrand (the only other teachers that I know taught the class) it had to be Turko. It also sounds like something he would do.

I've read only one of his books, Letters to a Young Catholic and it was pretty awesome. Full of awesomeness stuff that I am constantly referring back to. Other than that, I haven't read anything else. If been thinking about picking up a copy of Evangelical Catholicism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basilisa Marie Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 (edited) Oooh oooh I <3 Evangelical Catholicism. And not just because I love shoving this essay in peoples faces. :| It's written by one of my favorite professors like ten years ago before Evangelical Catholicism was cool. http://communio-icr.com/articles/PDF/portier31-1.pdf Go read it. :) In other news I haven't read the Weigel book.

morostheos Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 I think I might have read that book a while ago, but I can't recall. Everything I've read that George Weigel has written has been very good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amppax Posted May 26, 2013 Author Share Posted May 26, 2013 Ah. Okay. I've got Turko again for PBS I and really looking forward to it. I had him. Easy, and a pretty decent class. Hahn or Bergsma would be much better though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
