“Clarity, intelligence, passion and elegance – these are the marks
of a writer in top form, and Father Barron brings all these gifts
to bear in this extraordinary reflection on the Catholic
faith. If you read one book this year on what Catholics

“Father Robert Barron’s Catholicism: A Journey to the Heart of the
Faith takes a path less traveled in leading us to explore the faith
through stories, biographies, and images. In these pages, we meet
the “Word made Flesh” not only in theological formulations, but
also in saints and poets, cathedrals and chants, priests and
prophets. What makes Catholicism so compelling are the ways in
which Father Barron shows how the Incarnation goes on in the true,
the good, and the beautiful.” – Timothy M. Dolan, Archbishop of New
York
“Catholicism is one of the most significant efforts ever to advance
what Pope John Paul II called ‘The New Evangelization.’” –George
Weigel, author of Witness to Hope and The End and the Beginning
“Prepare yourself for an entrancing tour of the many facets of
Catholicism. From Her art to Her architecture, Her
theological riches, to the inspired personalities that have filled
Her pews, the Catholic Church is laid bare by a priest who is more
than up to the task. Like the Faith it seeks to capture, it is a
journey that will leave you full – and then hungering for more.”
–Raymond Arroyo, New York Times Bestselling Author of Mother
Angelica and host of EWTN's The World Over Live
“Father Robert Barron is a brilliant academic, a popular writer, a
seeker and a seer. In Catholicism he illuminates truths that have
the power to set us free. It will be a benchmark book for
years to come.” –Michael Leach, author of Why Stay Catholic?
“When Father Barron is talking, I can't stop listening. Whatever he
writes, I can't put down unfinished. He loves the people he
addresses. He writes about what matters to us. To read him is to be
loved in word after word. In these pages, heart speaks to heart.”
–Mike Aquilina, co-author of The Mass: The Glory, the Mystery, the
Tradition
“Father Robert Barron’s great gift is to wed intellectual depth
with clarity and vividness of expression. His Catholicism: A
Journey to the Heart of the Faith is a superb exploration of the
Catholic vision that seamlessly unites theological reflection and
masterpieces of architecture and art. The story he tells comes
truly alive in his portraits of concrete men and women who, in
every age, have lived the journey of faith to the full. –”Rev.
