Exploring the Historical, Biblical and Doctrinal Roots- A Personal Perspective
De Silva weighs the evidence of history, beginning with the Scriptures, moving through the Apostolic fathers to arrive at a judgment about the truth and vitality of the Catholic Church. As a pilgrim who has lived both sides of the debate, he cuts across all sectarian prejudice and carries the reader with him into a judgement that is both spiritually authentic and intellectually powerful." - Dr. Gavin Ashenden, Former Missionary Bishop of Church of England, Chaplain to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II , BBC presenter, journalist and author. In this book, the author gives a spiritual autobiographical and dogmatic account of his journey from Catholicism to Protestantism in his youth and of his journey back to Catholicism after 35 years in Protestantism. He ably defends the distinctive Catholic dogmas often disputed by the Protestants . He relies upon Scriptures and writings of ante- Nicene Church Fathers to show that Catholic Faith has a historical and Biblical basis. This is an excellent book for Christians of any denomination."- G. P. V. Somaratne, Senior Professor (Research) at Colombo Theological Seminary, Former Professor of Modern History at the University of Colombo
