Catholic Church, Evangelism, Pastoral theology 

Designed to present the methods which have proven most effective for the winning of converts to the Catholic faith, this volume discusses the two important phases of convert making: first, the means of reaching prospective converts to interest them in a course of instruction; and second, the methods of adapting the presentation of Catholic doctrine to non-Catholic minds. The book is not a theoretical treatment of the subject, but a presentation of the technique which has been developed by the most successful convert makers in America. Furthermore, the volume is not restricted merely to a treatment of problems in methodology but contains a penetrating analysis of the psychology of religious conversion and the practical procedure of dealing effectively with the various types. The contributors include such well-known names as Bishop John F. Noll of Fort Wayne, Martin J. Scott, S.J., Bertrand L. Conway, C.S.P., and David Goldstein. This book would serve as an excellent textbook in seminaries and religious normal schools. Priests, religious, sisters, seminarians, and zealous laymen will find in it new hope and courage to carry on in the apostolic work of winning America for Christ.
