What Catholic leaders are saying about Trent Horn

“Trent Horn is a very effective defender of the Faith and a great model to young people of how to advance the Church’s mission of the New Evangelization.”

– Scott Hahn, The Father Michael Scanlan TOR Professor of Biblical Theology and the New Evangelization, Franciscan University of Steubenville

“Trent Horn is among the best apologists I know. He is careful, thoughtful, engaging, and winsome in his presentations of Catholic beliefs and in his arguments.”

– Mark Brumley, President of Ignatius Press

“Trent Horn has the ability not only to defend the Faith but even more to present the beauty of the Faith in convincing ways. While he is fully capable of producing sound bites that catch the attention of both youths and adults, his best work explains tough truths in logical and illuminating ways.”

– Most Rev. Thomas J. Olmsted, Bishop of the Diocese of Phoenix

“Trent is perhaps the top Millennial evangelist in the Church today, and one of its greatest speakers. When Trent speaks, either to fellow Catholics or people who vociferously disagree, you just marvel at how masterfully he covers the topic and answers the objections. If Socrates and St. Paul and St. Thomas Aquinas merged into a twenty-first century Catholic, it would look an awful lot like Trent”

– Brandon Vogt, Content Director at Word on Fire Ministries

“What makes Trent Horn an excellent apologist, apart from the fact that he’s incredibly bright, is that he seems better able to formulate his opponent’s arguments than they can. He’s intellectually honest, articulate, and able to explain complex theoretical ideas in entertaining and understandable ways. I’m glad he’s on our side!”

– Matt Fradd, Catholic speaker and author

“Trent Horn is a gifted Catholic apologist as well as a compelling speaker. He presents Catholicism in an intelligent, careful, and winsome manner, providing to his listeners a model of how an ambassador of the Church ought to offer an account of our Faith in public.”

– Francis J. Beckwith, professor of philosophy and Church-state studies, Baylor University
