Peter William vs. James White on Indulgences

The video of the debate between James White (Reformed Baptist) and Peter D. Williams (Catholic) on Indulgences. It was an excellent debate:




For discussions of Indulgences on this blog, see:




A book I highly recommend (and one that Peter Williams had with him at the debate and even plugged in his debate) is that of:

Mary C. Moorman, Indulgences: Luther, Catholicism, and the Imputation of Merit (Emmaus Academic, 2017)

Moorman appeared with Scott Hahn and other Catholic theologians to discuss this book. The video is on youtube:


One has to give credit to Peter Williams (who is one of my favourite modern Catholic apologists) as he is willing to debate topics many Catholics tend to shy away from. For instance, he debated James White previously on Mariology in May 2017:



I first encountered Williams when he debated Cecil Andrews on the Mass (click here). IMO, Williams destroyed Andrews, as Andrews clearly has never read any of the best apologetics material for the dogmas of the Mass (e.g., those of Sungenis; Pitre, et al.) As this is a topic I have researched in great detail and have written about (see Responses to Robert Sungenis, Not By Bread Alone (2000/2009)), if anyone would like to see a Catholic/Mormon debate, I am more than game. Just saying . . . .
