ABOUT THIS BOOK

Twelve written back-and-forth debates between Dave Armstrong and Reformed Baptist apologist James White, the leading anti-Catholic of his generation. Plus critiques of White’s published work. Armstrong’s premise: White’s debate reputation collapses when arguments are put on paper, footnoted, and answered at length.
