As secularism gains influence and increasing numbers see religion as dull and backward, Robert Barron wants to illuminate how beautiful, intelligent, and relevant the Catholic faith is.
In this compelling new book - drawn from conversations with and narrated by award-winning Vatican journalist John L. Allen Jr. - Barron, founder of Word on Fire Catholic Ministries, proclaims in vivid language the goodness and truth of the Catholic tradition. Through Barron's smart, practical, artistic, and theological observations - as well as through personal anecdotes about everything from engaging atheists on YouTube to his days as a young die-hard baseball fan from Chicago - To Light a Fire on the Earth covers prodigious ground.
Touching on a wide range of subjects, including Jesus, prayer, science, movies, atheism, the spiritual life, the fate of the Church in modern times, beauty, art, and social media, Barron reveals why the Church matters today and how Catholics can intelligently engage a skeptical world.

Being one of the post-revolution seminarians in 1978-1980, called neoregressives by many of the older graduate students, and having served as a diocesan priest for 32 years, Bishop Barron has given me the words to express both what has happened over the last 40 years in the Church, and where I need to labor in renewing my own faith, and the parish community that I serve.
As Bishop Barron points out so well, it is in focusing on Jesus Christ,, and the beauty of the Catholic Church, that this renewal will take place. No one will dedicate his or her life to a Church whose primary mission is selfloathing for what we are not, and which is uncertain in its proclamation because of past sins of its members and leaders.
John Allen did a great job of presenting Bishop Barron's thoughts. However, the information on the book leads one to believe that Bishop Barron wrote this book, with John Allen being an assistant or ghost writer. What we have here is a book by John Allen about Bishop Barron. John did a great job.
It's good to read that a classmate has done good.
