Hostile Witnesses: How the Historic Enemies of the Church

Hostile Witnesses: How the Historic Enemies of the Church Prove Christianity

Author Gary Michuta (Why Catholic Bibles Are Bigger) says itâ€™s not just believers who witness to the truth of Christianity. Even the Churchâ€™s historical enemies and the most ardent philosophical opponents of the gospel provide unwitting evidence for Christian belief, morals, and practice. Just as a photographic negative reveals a positive image hidden within it, so too can persecution reveal an underlying truth of the very Faith itâ€™s trying to destroy.
In Hostile Witnesses, Michuta looks at dozens of Christianityâ€™s most notorious foesâ€”beginning with the New Testament and through the twentieth centuryâ€”and draws from their antagonistic words and deeds surprising testimony to gospel truths. From the Pharisees to the Nazis, from the Crusades to the Reformation, he presents a parade of skeptics, heretics, pagan powers, and rival sects: each taking a turn in the witnessâ€™s chair and giving an unexpected but compelling account in favor of Christ.
Rich in research and written with clarity and force, Hostile Witnesses is a unique contribution to Catholic apologetics. And one that speaks with special urgency to a modern world in which the Faith is once again under attack.
