The Teaching of Christ presents with precision and clarity a complete vision of Catholic faith and life. The whole rich heritage of the faith, particularly as it is expressed in the words of Sacred Scripture and the teaching of the Second Vatican Council, is brought together in this book. Catholic teaching is presented not only
with precise care, but also in ways that help the reader to perceive the truth and beauty of faith, and the way in which the gift of faith responds to the longings of the human spirit.
Woven into its account of faith are the words of Scripture, of the Liturgy, of the Fathers and saints, of the Councils of the Church, and of the voices of the magisterium.
The Teaching of Christ in this edition makes readily accessible to all the full message of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. It has been fully correlated with this new universal Catechism.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church "calls for the production of catechisms that will adapt, present, and apply the universal Catechism. It is precisely this task that The Teaching of Christ in its fourth edition so admirably accomplishes."
-Bernard Cardinal Law, in the "Prefatory Note"
"Clearly written and very well organized, The Teaching of Christ is undoubtedly the best manual to date for adult catechetical instruction."
- Theological Studies
"A complete account of Christian teaching and Christian faith - worthy of
recommendation."
- Yves Congar
