About this ebook

Distinctiveness of Christianity is an important read for Catholics in such precarious times. Though he begins by examining how and why there is such hostility towards the Church in our society and culture, Father Schall is careful that his analysis of Christianity in current society does not discourage. He encouragingly illustrates the fundamental doctrines and institutions that distinguish and uphold the Church, and suggests ways we can all move towards a Distinctive Spirituality that will strengthen the Church and inspire the world.
