Back when I was going to protestant seminary (before my conversion to Catholicism), I had a professor named Wayne Detzler. His honest and academic look at Christian history helped me deeply on my journey toward Catholicism. I was excited to hear that he endorsed the book and gave a very nice quote about our conversion…
THE YEAR I was born in Charlotte, North Carolina and I grew up here. My parents are deaf and they met at the North Carolina School for the Deaf in Morganton, NC. I have one sister, Megan. When I was fourteen, my parents filed for divorce. This was a difficult time for me as a…
Introduction During my time at Southern Evangelical Seminary, Dr. Thomas Howe was the school’s intellectual heavyweight and the most popular professor (I have heard it said more than once that although students came to SES for Norman Geisler, they stayed for Tom Howe!). He is also someone I consider a friend. So it was with great…

Dr. K. Scott Oliphint of Westminster Seminary has written a review of Evangelical Exodus for the journal Themelios. Read it HERE! Oliphint’s main complaint is that the contributors only seemed to see two options: Evangelical theology or Rome. This is far from correct, and not based on what was stated / argued in the book. None…
The latest catalog from Ignatius Press lists Evangelical Exodus as a best seller (it’s right there, just above the Pope’s book haha). Still have not cracked Amazon’s top 100 but hey, it’s a niche book. 🙂
New interview published on July 19, 2016:
Well it seems Southern Evangelical Seminary is not the only academic entity whose interest Evangelical Exodus has drawn. The book was dismissively panned by James White on his podcast (an action some consider to be a sacrament of Catholic initiation, along with appearing on The Journey Home). You can see it yourself HERE (starts at 15:35). After reading a few quotes…
Introduction There are several Catholic converts from Southern Evangelical Seminary that did not, for one reason or another, have their stories included in Evangelical Exodus. Some were for personal reasons, but most were simply unavailable at the time, or had not yet begun or completed their journeys across the Tiber. Some of these converts have reached out to me…

The National Catholic Register kindly published a book review / interview with Kathy Schiffer today HERE. As can be expected, it’s a bit over-dramatized at times, but the overall spirit of the interview was captured. There were a few errors that I alerted the author to once I saw it, but since most people will read the article before…
