A Church in Crisis: Pathways Forward
Nearly forty years ago, Ralph Martin’s bestselling A Crisis of Truth exposed the damaging trends in Catholic teaching and preaching that, combined with attacks from secular society, threatened the mission and life of the Catholic Church. While much has been done to counter false teaching over the last four decades, today the Church faces even more insidious threats—from outside and within. In A Church in Crisis: Pathways Forward, Martin offers a detailed look at the growing hostility to the Catholic Church and its teaching. With copious evidence, Martin uncovers the forces working to undermine the Body of Christ and offers hope to those looking for clarity. A Church in Crisis covers: -po...
Will Many Be Saved?
The question of whether and how people who have not had the chance to hear the gospel can be saved goes back to the beginnings of Christian reflection. It has also become a much-debated topic in current theology. In Will Many Be Saved? Ralph Martin focuses primarily on the history of debate and the development of responses to this question within the Roman Catholic Church, but much of Martin's discussion is also relevant to the wider debate happening in many churches around the world. In particular, Martin analyzes the Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, the document from the Second Vatican Council that directly relates to this question. Contrary to popular opinion, Martin argues that according to this text, the conditions under which people who have not heard the gospel can be saved are very often, in fact, not fulfilled, with strong implications for evangelization.

The New Evangelization
"One of Pope John Paul II's most important legacies is his repeated call to a "new evangelization," the need to reevangelize traditionally Christian societies that are hurtling toward secularization. This book brings together the best scholarship on this topic."--BOOK JACKET.
Food Security
Today, mainstream agriculture pushes excess food while depleting soil, water, air, and energy instead of growing just enough for adequate, healthy consumption.
Reconciliation
Martin isolates a single theme of Paul's theology, reconciliation, and suggests that this one term is sufficiently broad as an ÒumbrellaÓ idea to accommodate the leading aspects of Paul's main thinking.
A Life in the Spirit
"A Life in the Spirit chronicles beloved author and speaker Ralph Martin's journey from the early days of the Catholic charismatic renewal to becoming one of the most courageous voices defending the truth of the Gospel during an age of dissension an disbelief. In this memoir, Martin shares how he was initially drawn to make a radical commitment to Jesus Christ and, as that commitment deepened, how he entered more fully into the spiritual tradition of the Church and advanced theological studies that grounded his work of fundamental Catholic renewal within the solid tradition of Catholic teaching. A Life in the Spirit recounts not only Martin's struggle to remain faithful to his commitment to Christ through obstacles and opposition, but also includes beautiful reflections on family life and remarkable experiences with the likes of Pope St. John Paul II, Mother Angelica, and many others." --from back cover
