The list below contains books, publications, and web links that we believe will help you in your spiritual pursuit. It is by no means complete, and we will be adding more resources in the future. But these should be sufficient to get you started.

[PRODUCT IMAGE] Upon This Slippery Rock: Countering Roman Catholic Claims to Authority

Eric D. Svendsen, Ph.D.

"How do you know your private interpretation of the Bible is correct over against the private interpretation of every other denomination?" . . . "How can you be certain that you are in the truth since all you have to go on is your own fallible private judgment that your church is right?" . . . "How do you know you’ve picked the right denomination?" . . . "How can you believe in sola Scriptura, a principle that has resulted in over 25,000 Protestant denominations?"

Sound familiar? If you've ever spent time dialoguing with a Roman Catholic apologist, chances are you've been confronted with these very questions. Finally, from Eric Svendsen and Calvary Press, comes a layman's handbook for answering the epistemological dilemmas posed by Roman Catholic apologists--one that not only answers these questions and others like them, but also shows you how to turn those same dilemmas back on the Roman Catholic inquisitor himself! Winsome and practical; in-depth yet easy to read; this timely volume will prove to be an invaluable handbook in your dealings with Roman Catholic apologists who attempt to denigrate  the Scriptures in their zeal to promote the authority of Rome.

Who Is My Mother? The Role and Status of Mary in the New Testament and Roman Catholicism 

Eric D. Svendsen, Ph.D.

"While many North American Catholics today play down their tradition’s historic devotion to Mary, pronouncements about her exalted status remain official Catholic dogma and prove highly influential on most other continents. Svendsen painstakingly examines every biblical reference to Mary, in dialogue with major apologists for traditional Catholicism, and convincingly demonstrates how little biblical support there is for treating Mary differently from any other believer. No other work available today surveys this landscape in quite this way."

--Craig L. Blomberg, Ph.D., Professor of New Testament, Denver Seminary

". . . By solid exegesis and judicious theological judgments, Eric Svendsen both demystifies the later Marian dogma . . . , and shows Mary to be a faithful Christian disciple, like many of her generation, from whom we can learn a great deal about everyday, consistent, biblical piety. In so doing, Svendsen is able to show by clear and careful biblical scholarship that later Roman Catholic Mariology is not, as it claims, a natural theological development of the biblical data, but rather an unfortunate and tendentious distortion." 

--Peter Jones, Professor of New Testament, Chairman of the Dept. of Biblical Studies, Westminster Theological Seminary

Evangelical Answers: A Critique of Current Roman Catholic Apologists

Eric D. Svendsen, Ph.D.

"A chorus of squawking trumpets is playing many uncertain sounds these days, and the evangelical movement is in desperate need of a clarion blast that will rise above the din. Eric Svendsen's Evangelical Answers sounds just such a note. This is a perceptive, intelligent, and solidly biblical reply to the recent barrage of Roman Catholic anti-evangelical propaganda. If you have been confused by the claims of modern Catholic apologists and are looking for reliable answers on a rock-solid biblical foundation, I urge you to read this book"
