Description
David Currie was raised in a devout Christian family whose father was a fundamentalist preacher and both parents teachers at Moody Bible Institute. Currie's whole upbringing was immersed in the life of fundamentalist Protestantism - theology professors, seminary presidents and founders of evangelical mission agencies were frequent guests at his family dinner table. Currie received a degree from Trinity International University and studied in the Masters of Divinity program.
This book was written as an explanation to his fundamentalist and evangelical friends and family about why he became a Roman Catholic. Currie presents a very lucid, systematic and intelligible account of the reasons for his conversion to the ancient Church that Christ founded. He gives a detailed discussion of the important theological and doctrinal beliefs Catholic and evangelicals hold in common, as well as the key doctrines that separate us, particularly the Eucharist, the Pope, and Mary.

A path to Truth: Fundamentalist, Evangelicalism and finally the Catholic Church
I ran into this book on Formed (audio book); a bit scary 12h long audio tagged with Apologetics. My fears (of boredom) went away very quickly once I started. After that I couldn't put it down. I must have heard it 5 times (ish). It helped me understand (or get close to) the differences in understanding with our Protestants brothers (in my case: my wife) and at the same time... what we believe. David Currie is very precise and clear in his definitions and the way he presents the different themes... I don't know... he is very clear.
