Summary: There are better books on the subject of Roman Catholicism
Comment: Robert Zins quotes extensively from Karl Keatings book "Catholicism and Fundamentalism - The Attack on "Romanism" by "Bible Christians". Due to the extensive quotations from Keating, it appears the book is a rebuttal of that book. In this respect, it is useful if one wants a critique on Keating's book. As Keating levels many a barrage at Lorraine Boettner's book "Roman Catholicism" - also available at amazon.com, Zins depicts where Keating is not too fair or accurate in his evaluation of Boettner. I would ask in some places whether or not Zins is fair in some of the comments as offered by Keating. I would recommend that the reader have a copy of Keatings book for any extensive study on these subjects.
Zins is fairly accurate in his discussion of the key Roman Church doctrines - Penance, Purgatory, the Eucharist, and the Mass. In the chapter on the theology of the Mass, Zins concludes that "as in the case of other dogmas, Rome continues to be a religion in search of biblical proof" - p. 127.
In conclusion, I have seen better books on the subject of Roman Catholicism. Perhaps one that is more fair and accurate is James G. McCarthy's book "The Gospel According to Rome" or James White's book "The Roman Catholic Controversy" available also from amazon.com.

Summary: Romanism - The Relentless Assault on Roman Catholics
Comment: Robert M. Zins, Th. M., starts off his book with the statement "To deny the Gospel of the Savior is the folly of the Roman Catholic Religion." (p 10). In Chapter 1 we learn that "The Roman religion is based 100% on the notion that Jesus Christ came and left his own with an elaborate system." (p 13) and Chapter 2 states, "We disagree wholeheartedly with the Roman Catholic understanding of the Gospel." (p 16). By the last chapter, we are told that "Rome has not been infected with the Gospel of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. She remains boldly innoculated to placing herself under Biblical authority." (p 208) He concludes in his appendix that "No, the real question is whether the substance of the Catholic belief system passes the test of Biblical scrutiny when it comes to the substance of the Gospel. We say emphatically, "No!" (p 265)
Dr. Zins opening and closing remarks sum up what you will find in "Romanism" well. If you truly agree with the above remarks, this book will not change your opinion one bit - you've probably heard all of it before. If you truly love the Catholic Faith, this book will not change your mind one bit either. But if you truly want to know what the Catholic Church believes, then you would be far better off spending your money on a copy of the "Catechism of the Catholic Church"! And keep your Bible nearby, because you will be very surprised at how often you will need it to look up quotations and references.
