Author: Jimmy Akin

Jimmy was born in Texas, grew up nominally Protestant, but at age 20 experienced a profound conversion to Christ. Planning on becoming a Protestant seminary professor, he started an intensive study of the Bible. But the more he immersed himself in Scripture the more he found to support the Catholic faith, and in 1992 he entered the Catholic Church. His conversion story, "A Triumph and a Tragedy," is published in Surprised by Truth. Besides being an author, Jimmy is the Senior Apologist at Catholic Answers, a contributing editor to Catholic Answers Magazine, and a weekly guest on "Catholic Answers Live."

One thought on “July 29, 2004 Show”

  1. The Lutheran position is more like that of the Orthodox churches – hoc est, but we don’t know how exactly that works.
    Contrary to popular myth. One can even hold to Aquinas’ use of Aristotelian terminology to explain the mystery and be a good Lutheran.
