I feel dumb that it was on your blog, which I also contribute to.<br /><br />I have Keating's book - it was the first book I got on this issue from the RC side when my friend Rod Bennett converted to Rome in 1996.<br /><br />He has written a book, called Four Witnesses, by Ignatius Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17824685809003307918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21597890.post-87394337331024479882011-04-15T02:31:26.501+01:002011-04-15T02:31:26.501+01:00And another tidbit:

When Romanists complain about Boettner, many times it's simply Keating's material being spit out. <br /><br />Probably what would be helpful is if Keating's comments could be taken apart, and evaluated. Perhaps a group project at some point?<br /><br />Keating's comments are in his James Swanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16136781934797867593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21597890.post-89110738614781209532011-04-14T15:41:50.416+01:002011-04-14T15:41:50.416+01:00Ken:
