Does the Bible Really Say That?

"Madrid's clear commentaries on Church teaching will help everyone understand Catholic belief better--Catholics and non-Catholics alike. I highly recommend this book." ―Bishop Robert J. Baker, S. T. D., Diocese of Birmingham, Alabama If you are less than familiar with the Bible, you might be surprised at what you'll find there. Is drinking alcohol a sin? Do Christians have an absolute assurance of salvation? Is the rosary really a biblical prayer? And what's up with the Rapture? Patrick Madrid leads the reader on an investigation of what Scripture has to say about these and many other topics, revealing, in the process, the biblical roots of much Catholic teaching.
