The topic for this broadcast is an introduction leading to an analysis of Walter Martin's book on Roman Catholicism called, "The Roman Catholic Church in History." Walter Martin (September 10, 1928 -- June 26, 1989), was an American Evangelical minister, author, and Christian apologist who founded the Christian Research Institute in 1960 as a para-church ministry specializing as a clearing-house of information in both general Christian apologetics and in countercult apologetics. Walter authored such works as: "Jehovah of the Watchtower," " The Rise of the Cults," "The Maze of Mormonism," "Essential Christianity: A Handbook of Basic Christian Doctrines," "The Riddle of Reincarnation," "The New Age Cult," "Walter Martin's Cults Reference Bible," the classic "The Kingdom of the Cults, " & others. Walter Martin debated the famous atheist Madalyn Murray O'Hair on national radio (to hear some of these debates go to http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=...).
Controversy & confusion about Romanism has taken place with the advent of the replacement of Walter Martin after his death with a man named Hank Hanegraaff. Hanegraaff has defended Romanism as true. |
