Faith of Our Fathers

The Faith of Our Fathers, published in 1876 by Archbishop James Gibbons, is a comprehensive exposition and defense of the Catholic Church's teachings. Aimed primarily at Protestants, Gibbons presents the core tenets of Catholicism in a clear and practical manner, emphasizing scriptural references and the testimony of early Church Fathers. This influential work became a best-selling conversion manual in the United States, reaching its 111th printing by 1980, and remains notable for its accessible approach to Catholic doctrine.
