The Great Debate 2004:
"The Canon of the
HOLY BIBLE:
Has Rome Added or Have Protestants Taken Away?"
A Roman Catholic vs. Protestant Debate on
the Canonicity of the Deuterocanonical (Apocryphal) Books


GARY MICHUTA: "The Deuterocanon (Apocrypha) IS Scripture!"
Gary Michuta is Founder & Director of THY FAITH, Inc., a non-profit Catholic apologetics organization dedicated to helping Catholics competently share and defend their Catholic Faith. He is the author of THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO JAMES McCARTHY, a rebutal to McCarthy's critique of Catholicism called The Gospel According to Rome, and he has currently begun work on a new book dedicated to the question of the Old Testament canon. He is also a contributor to the future CATHOLIC APOLOGETIC ENCYCLOPEDIA by Ignatius Press. He is the Managing Editor of HANDS ON APOLOGETICS MAGAZINE, one of three nationally published Catholic apologetics magazines in the United States. Contributors to HANDS ON APOLOGETICS include such notables as DR. SCOTT HAHN, STEPHEN RAY, DAVID ARMSTRONG, DAVID PALM and others. Dr. Scott Hahn of Franciscan University of Steubenville said "Hands On Apologetics magazine is a quick, informative and delightful read... it gets better and better every issue." Dr. William Riordan, Professor of Theology at Ave Maria University, said "I recommend Gary Michuta as a speaker on Catholic apologetics. He shows an appreciation of the views that he critiques and offers advice with both clarity and charity." Gary is a popular speaker for conferences as well as Church and Youth Groups all over the United States and Canada. Gary is also the host of the ministry's talk show, HANDS ON APOLOGETICS LIVE, that focuses on the practical aspects of apologetics and evangelism.
