The following resources will help you understand the need and methods of defending your Catholic faith:

• >> Getting Started in Apologetics

• An Introduction to the Seventh-day Adventists




Familiate Yourself with Adventist Beliefs

When familiarating yourself with Adventist beliefs, reading Adventist evangelistic literature is helpful. These study guides explain the primary doctrines of Adventist faith in a simple manner:

• Amazing Facts Study Guides Online [Offsite; Adventist]

As you read, highlight verses or arguments you feel unprepared to answer, so you can be sure to give them particular attention later.

You may not always feel up to the task (after all, the material includes criticisms of our faith). In those moments, feel free to contact us! Encouragement in the body of Christ, and answers to any difficult questions or doubts are always available




Learning to Defend your Catholic Faith

At last, it is time to learn how to respond to Adventist claims as a Catholic. Begin by reviewing the "What Catholics Believe" and "Answering Adventist Objections" pages on the "Answers" section of this site. The first will explain why Catholics hold the beliefs they do; the second will answer most of the arguments you would have encountered in your Adventist reading. If you need more in-depth assistance, consider reading the Hugo Mendez essays, also on the "Answers" section of the site. The "Resources" section of the site will link to additional resources that may be of help to you.
