Words
about a New Book
By
Donna Rougeux
Dr.
Margaret Ralph, PHD, of Lexington Kentucky is an author of thirteen books on
scripture and has written a new book called Why
the Catholic Church Must Change: A Necessary Conversation. Dr. Ralph has
lectured and taught about scripture for forty years. I have been a student in
her class and heard her speak many times. She profoundly impacted my life and
helped me move from my childhood understanding of scripture to a more mature
understanding of scripture. My experience with her as a teacher inspired me to
be a seminary student.
Dr.
Ralph’s newest book moves to a different subject but is grounded in her vast
knowledge of scripture as she addresses important topics that are affecting the
Roman Catholic Church today. Her book openly discusses vital controversial
topics that the traditional Church avoids and wants to ignore like the
ordination of women and homosexuality.
This book is a must read and is a great choice for book clubs/discussion
groups. I am part of one such group and feel liberated to have the opportunity
to discuss the issues that are found in the book with people in the Catholic
communities in my hometown.
