Random House, Inc Catechism of the Catholic Church

Four centuries in the making, a monumental undertaking and a magnificent achievement, this is the first definitive Catholic Catechism since the Council of Trent in 1566. It details the doctrine, dogma, and the basic tenets of the Church. Using the tradition of explaining what the Church believes, what she celebrates, what she lives and what she prays, the Catechism of the Catholic Church offers challenges for believers and answers for all those interested in learning about the mystery of the Catholic faith.

Excellent, but wordy. I'm certain all the information is in there, but sometimes I have to read a selection 2 or 3 times before discovering that I already knew that information.

Excellent tool for witnessing to Roman Catholics. I give them this book so that they can know exactly what it is that they are being told to believe according to the authority of the Roman church so then they can compare church law to the Bible.

The book is used by our Religious Education department of our Church to help with instruction of the youth. I puchased 6 of them as gifts to my Confirmation class. It is the Catechism of their Chuch and they will ue it the rest of their lives.

For Protestants searching for truths about the Catholic(universal) faith, a must read.For Cradle Catholics who've forgotten what they learned as a child in Catholic school, a MUST KNOW! Don't be a Cafeteria-Catholic! Follow the Christ!

A great summation of Christian theology from the early days of the Church, up to the current day.Surely you won't agree with everything it says if you're a Protestant, but you will be surprised with the 75-90% you can agree with. You'll also be surprised at the depth and wisdom stored within this book.Don't be put off by the "Catholic" on the cover. This is a great collection of Christian wisdom.
