Faith of Our Fathers

Faith of Our Fathers, explains the basic tenets of the Catholic Faith and traces their origin to the early church fathers, the Apostles and the scriptures. The book gives clear explanation of the items that people find hard to understand, such as: purgatory and prayers for the dead, the infallibility of the Pope, invocations to the saints, the role of Mary in the church, confession and much more. The book was first published in 1876, by the Archbishop of Baltimore, James Gibbons. Since that date, the book has sold well over 1,000,000. copies. James Garton, has compiled and contributed to this latest edition of the book to include a biography of Archbishop Gibbons, a summary of each chapter, a personal reflection on Faith of Our Fathers, and a resource website that helps the reader obtain updates to further their studies of the Catholic Faith.
