Long, meaty Books and Culture piece by Mark Noll and Carol Nystrom, adapted from their book of the same title

It examines various evangelical stances toward Catholicism, from hostility to conversion.

Here’s a link to the book, due to be released next week.

The conversion stories range from Peter Kreeft to the Hahns to John Michael Talbot. All speak, interestingly, not only of what they have gained, but what they feel they’ve lost – and most of the loss is related to local church life: music, fellowship, and even the strength of faith of the local community.
