Riassunto

As young teens begin to understand the rich heritage of Catholicism, they need a text that engages them at their stage of life. The one- or two-semester course Understanding Catholic Christianity offers a comprehensive overview of Catholicism for ninth graders that gives these teens a foundation in their religion. Through engaging stories, writings by teens, and inspiring original artwork, the material in this course comes alive for students. This extensively revised edition of Understanding Catholic Christianity was developed using the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and covers topics that include faith, the adolescent, the Jewish roots of Catholic Christianity, Jesus Christ's life, ministry, death, and Resurrection, the sacraments and the liturgical year, and spirituality and prayer.

Su questo libro

Product Description

This text offers a comprehensive overview of Catholicism for the junior cycle, to serve as a foundation for the other secondary-school religion courses and faith formation experiences. It also provides a common vocabulary for articulating the essentials of Catholic teaching. This revised edition was developed using the "Catechism of the Catholic Church" as a primary source. With pastoral sensitivity, the course's examples, stories, quotes from young people, and reflection activities bring to life the basics of the Catholic faith for adolescent hearts and minds. The text does not assume a Catholic background or a committed faith in its readers, but can bring Catholic and non-Catholic young people alike to a deeper appreciation of Catholicism's beliefs, rituals, moral vision and prayer life, and how that rich heritage can relate to their young lives.
