Robert Crotty interview with Richard Fidler on ABC radio... (Main Forum)

One of our readers rang me to suggest I mention a conversation Richard Fidler conducted with Robert Crotty last week that will more than probably be of high interest to Catholica readers. Click the image below or the link to go and hear it...

Robert Crotty joined a monastic order when he was 17, but left the priesthood after a stint in Jerusalem changed his mind about the Bible.

Professor Robert Crotty was brought up in the Catholic church and his imagination was inflamed by the stories of miracles and visions in the Bible.

But as he began to look back into where the books of the Bible actually came from, Robert questioned what was true, and what was a beautiful fiction.

He was charged with heresy by the Catholic Church, and although he was acquitted he decided to leave the priesthood.

Robert is now the Director of the South Australian Ethics Centre.

Three Revolutions: Three Drastic Changes in Interpreting the Bible published ATF Press.

The book is available on Kindle (click the image at right or HERE) and the paperback edition will be released on 30th April 2012 and can be pre-ordered via Amazon or Fishpond in our marketplace.
