The Three Great Churches: Comparing Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox Beliefs

by Kerby Rials

Overview

How are the three branches of Christianity different, and why?

Carefully researched and documented, The Three Great
Churches provides clear comparative answers to questions like:

• Does prayer for the dead do any good?
• Which church is the oldest?
• Does purgatory exist? Can priests forgive sins?
• Should the apocrypha be in the Bible?
• Are baptism and communion necessary to be saved?

Written from an evangelical Protestant perspective, the book will
also be useful to Catholics and Orthodox and all those seeking to
better understand the differences in Christianity. This fourth edition
includes discussion questions, an answer key, and an index.
Russian and French translations are also available.
