In Soft Garments: Classic Catholic Apologetics
About this book
''In Soft Garments'' by Ronald Knox is a collection of witty, profound, and insightful Catholic apologetics lectures given at Oxford, addressing common doubts and questions about faith, God's existence, the Church's role, and Christian living, presented in accessible, engaging prose to support Catholic students and draw in others by explaining deep theological concepts clearly. The title's "softness" isn't about weak ideas but rather gentle, persuasive presentation, tackling tough questions on faith, marriage, and Church holiness with a sharp, logical mind.
