Riassunto

•An important launchpad for those who lead churches or have other kinds of teaching responsibility in churches •Demonstrates how catachesis is situated within a life of practice and worship, refusing to treat it as a purely intellectual exercise•Catachesis has long been an important church life across the traditions, and is finding a new lease of life as churches explore different ways of discipling congregations. Catechesis is not just about right teaching, it is a cultivation of a living faith within the community of the Church. Christian faith and theology are performed in the sacramental, communal, and missional life of the Church, and catechesis is an invitation into this lived reality. This book explores the nature of catechesis and how catechesis within our churches can shape the Christian community into an instrument of renewal in the world through the formation of holy living. It argues that the future of catechesis in the life of the Church is to be found in this holistic discipleship, and explores this holistic vision by examining catechesis in its relationship to Christian worship and liturgy, the teaching of doctrine, mission and social action, evangelism, preaching, communal life, and the sacraments.
