Dr. Beckwith on "The Journey Home" Sept 24. 2007


I make no apologies for it. I love apologetics.

I also love conversion stories. They seem to go hand in hand.

Every Monday, if I can, I try to watch “The Journy Home with Marcus Grodi” on EWTN. Going stroing for 300+ episodes, it is coming up on a tenth anniversary.

The basic format of the program is simple - it is a one-hour live talk show where Marcus Grodi interviews an individual (sometimes couples). The host generally introduces the guest and then allows for the guest to tell a little bit about his or her faith journey and how he or shey or they came to the Catholic faith.

Guests come from a variety of backgrounds - Pentecostal, Evangelical, Jewish, Orhtodox, secularism, organized crime, reversions… As I have noted before, at least ONE member of this blog (not me) and his lovely wife have appeared on this program as well as at least three other folks from the CEC.

Well some few months ago, a venerable soul who is well respected in the Evangelical community decided to return to the Catholic Faith. It caused NO small amount buzz in the Christian press and on websites and blogs throughout the blogosphere.

Why?

Well he happened to be the serving president of the Evangelical Theological Society at the time.

Meet Francis J. Beckwith or better yet, visit his website.

Dr. Beckwith will be joining Marcus Sept 24, 2007 on EWTN @ 8pm EST, live.

Mark your calendars.

    I also love apologetics and conversion stories done well and I already had my calendar marked for this show (I usually catch them later in podcasts).

    Some of the Journey Home shows I’ve particularly enjoyed were the “round-table” ones from former Presbyterians and Church of Christ members.

    The Church Of Christ roundtable was very fascinating. It was a denomination about which I did not know much… I always assumed them to be a sort of garden-variety “Evangelical/Baptist” sort of group.

    One of the things I especially enjoy about the program is that there are many times I watch it where the guest brings up a perspective or a point I had never thought of before.

    It is also amazing to me what a price some will pay once they become convinced the Catholic Church teaches the fullness of the truth.
