DR. JOEL NEDERHOOD: "CHALLENGING THOUGHTFUL ROMAN CATHOLICS TO EXAMINE THEIR FAITH"

MP3 Available Here

DR. JOEL NEDERHOOD, Reformed theologian, author, pastor of preaching at Cottage Grove Christian Reformed Church, South Holland, Illinois, voice of The Back to God Hour from 1965 to 1990, former host of the "Faith 20" television program, and Chancellor of Eastern Ukraine Theological Seminary will address the theme: "CHALLENGING THOUGHTFUL ROMAN CATHOLICS TO EXAMINE THEIR FAITH."

Today, Dr. Nederhood will be largely drawing the content of his discussion from the book Two Men From Malta , which he coauthored with Joe Serge, a Toronto newspaperman and columnist. The two men being referred to by the title, "Two Men From Malta", are the Apostle Paul and Mr. Serge. In this book Serge describes his odyssey from Roman Catholicism to the faith of the Reformation.

Serge invited our guest, long time radio and television teacher Joel Nederhood, to join him in examining primary Roman Catholic teaching such as "the Mass," "Mary," "the Papacy," and the essence of salvation itself. Dr. Nederhood, whose published works include This Splendid Journey and The Forever People , has produced a highly readable and provocative examination of the biblical material that Roman Catholic believers should consider as they evaluate their faith position.

This book conveys the high sense of freedom that Joe Serge experiences now that he has embraced the biblical teachings of salvation by grace alone, apart from works. The book also conveys sincere respect for Roman Catholics who will read it. And there can be no question that Joe Serge and Dr. Nederhood are praying that many who read TWO MEN FROM MALTA will join them in following the biblical teaching that reveals that Christ's works, not ours, will bring sinners into glory.
