About the Author
What People are Saying About This
“Chris Castaldo offers a provocative challenge. For Evangelicals to recognize that their Catholic friends and family can, yes, know Jesus. He also offers insight into why so many former Catholicsthe second largest religious group in the U.S.have found a home in the Evangelical Christian world.” Peter Feuerherd
“Holy Ground is much more than an excellent treatment of the longstanding and significant doctrinal differences between Catholicism and Evangelicalism, though it is certainly that. Breaking new ground, it also explores the personal dilemmas and real-life experiences which former Catholics face as they seek to move forward as Evangelicals. Well researched, up to date, and insightful, this book will enrich the most strained Catholic-Evangelical relationships with a compelling balance of grace and truth.” Dorington G. Little
“Principled and gracious, theological and practical, full of careful reasoning and warm illustrationsthis is a book I will recommend to others. Even if you think Castaldo is too hard or too soft on Catholics here or there, you will surely benefit from his personal research and sensitive analysis. This book does a great service to the Evangelical church. And it just might help a few Catholics too.” Kevin De Young
“Holy Ground is the best tool available for helping former Roman Catholics witness to friends and family members without causing needless offense or compromising the gospel. Chris Castaldo’s love for other people and firm grasp of biblical principles for discipleship and evangelism come through on nearly every page. His honest, charitable approach to Protestant-Catholic relationships will help many people honor God and demonstrate the love of Jesus in the very way they share their faith.” Dr. Philip Ryken
“I highly recommend Chris Castaldo’s book, Holy Ground: Walking with Jesus as a Former Catholic, as a must-read for every Christian. Chris has done an excellent job providing insight and balance in an area that is rarely addressed. Holy Ground has power to change your life.” Randal Ross
“Holy Ground is a well-researched, historically sound, conciliatory treatise of the Catholic-Protestant dialogue. With integrity, balance, and his witty, no-nonsense New York sensibilityChris Castaldo goes to great lengths to honor that which is good, pure, and Christ centered in both traditions. This is a great read for those looking to move past stereotypes, hearsay, and fill-in-the-blank responses to important questions.” Ellie Lofaro
“Chris Castaldo has given us a wonderful, grace-filled, helpful resource. The insights in this book are written with love and compelling credibility in an engaging style. Holy Ground will equip your heart and your mind to engage our Catholic friends in meaningful, compassionate dialogue about the truth of the gospel.” Dr. Crawford W. Loritts, Jr.
'I'm going to take this book, give it to my Catholic friends, and ask them to underline what they most like and what they find most difficult. It will produce a wonderful discussion. Chris Castaldo has written with humility, reality, and above all, personal experience. Here we see such issues as Luther and Loyola and why they matter; Scripture and why it's authoritative; grace and how it is experienced; and church authority and why it's central. I thoroughly recommend this book as a great tool for those seeking to dialogue with Catholic friends, family, and colleagues.' Rico Tice
“Admirably fair-minded, carefully documented, and pleasantly lucid and irenic, Holy Ground will grace the lives and relationships of those Evangelicals with Catholic heritage. An important read for Evangelicals and Catholics alike. Highly recommended.” R. Kent Hughes
“As a former Catholic turned Protestant who eventually ended up going to seminary in preparation for full-time ministry, I found Holy Ground to be an accurate and helpful resource. I wish it had been around when I was trying to understand church history and doctrine, especially as it relates to the chasm that still exists between Protestants and Catholics. I genuinely appreciate Chris Castaldo’s sensitivity in approaching the differences in a way that is respectful, thought provoking, and accurate. I am certain that engaging, grace-filled dialogue will follow from this instructive book, leading Protestants and Catholics alike to a greater understanding of one another and what they believe.” Mary Schaller
