"In 2007 Francis Beckwith, an esteemed scholar on ethical and
political issues at Baylor University, after announcing that he had
returned to the Roman Catholic Church, resigned as president of the
Evangelical Theological Society. In this highly readable "apologia
pro vita sua," Frank reveals the reasons for his surprising
spiritual odyssey."--Edwin M. Yamauchi, Miami University and 2006
ETS President
"Frank Beckwith sketches vividly the sense of home that so many
of us have found in the Catholic Church. It is the one place where
we can have it all, where we can be both evangelical and catholic.
Told with grace and wit, Frank Beckwith narrates life as it really
is: a divine comedy. And he makes us all laugh with him as he tells
a truly edifying story."--Scott Hahn, Franciscan University of
Steubenville
"Moving, memorable, unblinkingly honest but always alive with
charity, Beckwith's Christian story--leaving the Catholic Church,
serving the Lord as a world class Evangelical scholar and teacher,
then finally returning to his Catholic roots while treasuring his
Evangelical journey--is an unforgettable witness. I highly
recommend it."--Charles J. Chaput, OFM Cap, Archbishop of
Denver
"St. Augustine famously said that the word 'religion' is derived
from "reeligere," to choose again, perhaps over and over in the
sense of a reunion. Here is that reunion story once again. Frank
Beckwith takes us through some of the most interesting religious
and intellectual terrain of the post-1960s generation of American
Catholics. Far from being a rebuke of Evangelical Protestants, who
nourished him deeply, Beckwith's 'confession' should be a wake-up
call for Catholics."--Russell Hittinger, Universityof Tulsa
"Frank Beckwith's memoir is a remarkable act of evangelical
charity. He recounts his reversion to Catholicism in ways that
honor his Evangelical past, even as he shows how its riches are
being transformed by his new life in the communion of Rome."--Ralph
C. Wood, Baylor University
