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.
