The mystery we proclaim, second edition, is an invitation to all involved in this God-ordained work to reflect and examine the importance of their ministry in light of the revealed mystery of faith we all profess.
Catechesis is a unique form of teaching that intends not merely to pass along facts but to hand on the faith received from Christ, the apostles, and the living magesterium of the Church.
Catechism of the Catholic Church and the Craft of Catechesis
The theme of this book is that the catechism of the catholic church, perhaps the most important work on catechesis since the Apostolic Age, definitive account for our times of the full teaching of the Catholic faith, offers not only a new, but also that it is a superbly crafted work from which to learn and to teach the faith.
This book offers a pedagogical approach to the Catechism for handing on the faith of the Catholic Church in any setting, whether home, school and parish. These points have rarely been explained in any sustained way and have never before been systematically treated. This book reveals the pedagogy embedded in the Catechism, catechist or student how to discover the key principles that enable one to learn from, showing every teacher, parent, and teach from, the Catechism.
The compendium of the catechism of the Catholic Church speaks of the "wisdom of the presentation" of the Catechism and of "the depth of its spirituality". The three authors display a deep trust and love for the words of the Catechism of the Catholic Church – words that hold a rich heritage and can be pondered lovingly and searchingly, since they are for our good, for everyone's good.
It offers perennially valid teaching points drawn from a perennial text, and an explanation of the 'pedagogy of God' which underpins all authentic teaching methods in the Church. The unique point about this book is that it focuses on these points, rather than a simple explanation of the content of the Catechism.

The Pedagogy of God: Its Centrality in Catechesis and Catechist Formation
According to the general directory for catechesis, the primary difficulty facing catechesis today is that catechists do not yet have a full understanding of the conception of catechesis as a school of faith, an initiation and apprenticeship in the entireChristian life. Catechetical leaders will be happy to find within these pages scholars and practitioners of catechesis, who address many aspects of communicating the Faith, yet with the unified purpose of answering the primary question of catechesis as a school of faith embracing the entire Christian life.
Used book in Good Condition. The pivotal truth is that God himself is the pedagogue. It is here that we find the crucial place of The Pedagogy of God: Its Centrality in Catechesis and Catechist Formation.

Instructing Beginners in Faith The Augustine Series v. 5
The two model catecheses that augustine sketches, one quite long and the other considerably shorter, not only continue to have relevance today but also provide an important insight into his understanding of the use of scripture and tradition. It began as a reflection on the most suitable way of communicating the heart of Christian faith to those applying for membership of the Church.
Although not usually considered to be on the same level as The Confessions or The City of God, to name just two of Augustine's greatest works, the short treatise entitled Instructing Beginners in Faith has in fact had a powerful influence on the Christian Church.
