Karl Keating
Catholic Answers Founder and President |
|
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.

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 g.asp.

Nothing But the Truth
When our Catholic faith is questioned, we all struggle with finding the answers.
In Nothing But the Truth, Karl Keating leavens history, theology, and apologetics with his characteristic wit and candor, as he shares accounts of our faith on trial and how he and others respond to each challenge.
Readers are treated to a roller coaster ride that carries them from John Henry Cardinal Newman to Ayn Rand, and from Japan to Keating's backyard in San Diego.
Once again Karl Keating has provided readers with something that is as informative as it is entertaining and as useful as it is inspiring.
