About this item

The highly anticipated follow-up to Bishop Robert Barron's hugely successful Catholicism: A Journey to the FaithAs secularism gains influence, and increasing numbers see religion as dull and backward, Robert Barron wants to illuminate how beautiful, intelligent, and relevant the Catholic faith is. In this compelling new book - written in conversation with award-winning Vatican journalist John L. Allen, Jr. - Barron, founder of Word on Fire Catholic Ministries, proclaims in vivid language the goodness and truth of the Catholic tradition. Through Barron's smart, practical, artistic, and theological observations as well as personal anecdotes - from engaging atheists on YouTube to discussing his days as a young diehard baseball fan from Chicago - To Light a Fire on the Earth covers prodigious ground.
