Description
The dogmas proclaiming Mary’s Immaculate Conception and her role as Mother of God may make sense to Catholics, but can they be explained to questioning Protestants?
How should a Catholic respond to questions such as these?
- How can you say that Mary is the Mother of Jesus not just in his humanity but also in his divinity?
- Isn’t Mary’s motherhood of Jesus limited by her time on earth?
- Does the Catholic Church believe that Mary didn’t need to be saved?
- “If any man says he has no sin he is a liar and the truth is not in him” (I John 1:8). How could anyone believe Mary was free from all sin in light of this Scripture passage?
- How do the names of Mary, such as “Ark of the Covenant” and “the New Eve” indicate her Immaculate Conception?
In the 6-CD Set The Gospel Truth About Mary, Volume 1, Tim Staples renders a masterful defense of these doctrines by starting with the questions he himself had about Mary as a young Protestant.
By examining the Scripture passages often used to disprove Marian dogmas, he shows how Scripture is, in fact, one of the sources from which these dogmas arise.
“The Scripture passages that reveal the truths about the Blessed Mother,” says Staples, “became so obvious and so overwhelming to me that I could no longer deny the truth of the matter.”

Tim does it again
Finished listening through the whole cd. Excellent resource for the Catholic faith in Mary, the Mother of God. I listened while in the car. Immaculate conception is explained well. Mary is the New Ark in order to carry the Word And its connection with, for example, Jer 31:22 or Zec 2:10. Much to unpack. I plan to listen a second time but with my Bible and pen to make notes. Recommend!

!['Who CARES what Jesus did?' This may well be the response of many to the title of this book. Some may shrug it off because of a general disbelief in God, or a refusal to believe that Jesus could actually be the Incarnate Word, i.e., the eternal Son of God who became man. Others may acknowledge that Jesus is an inspiring moral teacher, and yet find some of his hard sayings (Jn. 6:60) too onerous to live and/or far-fetched to accept. Still others may be turned off by a history of bad experiences with professed Christians, and so see Jesus as a polarizing figure. Further, there are Christians who believe in Jesus as their Savior, but who disagree that he founded the Catholic Church. And there can be overlap among these different reasons.
In What Did Jesus Do? Tom Nash seeks to present anew the real Jesus, the Word [who] became flesh (Jn. 1:14) to save all of humanity and to employ his Mystical Bride, the Catholic Church, as his instrument of salvation and life-transforming love (Mt. 16:18-19; Jn. 10:10). Nash makes various biblical and other historical arguments for the perennial relevance of Jesus and his Church, including that anti-Catholicism makes for the strangest of bedfellows, with many unexpectedly finding the devil and his devotees lining up with them against the Church.
As Nash summarizes well, if the Catholic Church were merely a human institution, she would've entered the dustbin of history centuries ago, both because of internal scandals and external persecutions. Instead, 2,000 years after the Resurrection, the Church continues to advance her God-given Great Commission (Mt. 28:18-20).](https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-smelw44hfe/images/stencil/350x350/products/1550/3459/What-did-Jesus-Do_shop__11529.1594750406.jpg?c=2 "'Who CARES what Jesus did?'
