Random House, Inc Catechism of the Catholic Church, Second Edition/Gift Edition

Revised in accordance with the official Latin text promulgated by Pope John Paul II, this second edition of the Catechism of the Catholic Church provides a complete summary of what all Catholics around the world believe. Using the tradition of explaining what the Church believes (the Creed), what she celebrates (the Sacraments), what she lives by (the Commandments), and what she prays (the Lord's Prayer), the catechism teaches Catholics their faith and non-Catholics what the Church actually holds to be true. Hardcover.

If I were to order this again, I would want one that stays open when I am trying to read it. The book is so thick, compared to its page dimensions (4" X 7.25") that it is hard to hold open. This hardcover book looks very nice, and it has the content that I was looking for, but I needed it to be more user-friendly.

As a reviewer of Catholic theology, I find this book presents an excellent description of the teachings of the Roman church. It is clear and concise in outlining this system. I would recommend it to anyone who wants an overall understanding of Catholicism.

I am a protestant wanting to understand the Catholic Church better. This book is a full explanation of Catholic doctrine and practice. I recommend to any Protestant seeking balanced information on the Catholic part of the body of Christ.
