Evangelical Conversion to Catholicism

Why do so many evangelicals convert to Catholicism? In this irenic book, Patrick McGlinchy, an evangelical who began life as a Roman Catholic, explores this striking phenomenon. From interviews with key converts, such as Scott Hahn, Peter Kreeft, and Dwight Longenecker, the reader will discover some of the theological reasoning that has inspired a swathe of conservative Protestants to make the journey to Rome. McGlinchey's claim is that this unexpected exodus from evangelicalism does not need to be an ecumenical dead end. The converts bring a genuine challenge to their former tradition as well as a liveliness of faith and vision that can play a part in the renewal of the whole church. However, much will depend on where their journey takes them after crossing the Tiber.
