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."

  2. I heard you mention something about a prohibtion of electric votive candles when also talking about the candle used in the sancturary. Did I mishear or is their a document that indeed prohibits electric votive candles? I googled it to no avail.

  3. In regards to Balthasar’s work I suggest the following article on “firstthings.com”:
    The Population of Hell by Avery Cardinal Dulles
    Its well thought out, carefully orthodox, and disagrees with Jimmy. I think the disagreement comes from Jimmy confusing the idea of hoping for all versus being sure that all will not be damned. The letters to the editor in response to this article are also very good to read through.
