The Catholic Faith Explained

For anyone looking for a convenient and easy-to-use explanation of the Catholic Faith, Credo offers a succinct and reliable introduction into the fullness of the Faith. Acting as a pocket catechism Credo draws on the Catechism of the Catholic Church, presenting Church teaching in the same fourfold way: Creed, Sacraments, Morals and Prayer. From the authors of the Evangelium course, Credo can be used either as a tool of evangelisation for those not familiar with the Faith, for RCIA, or as a refresher for Catholics wanting to remind themselves of what they believe. Accompanied by beautiful traditional art, Credo aims to convey a rich experience of the Catholic Faith in a brief, concise manner.

Fulton J. Sheen turned his voice and pen to many subjects during the course of a long and remarkable apostolate. But nothing came closer to the core of his message than bringing the life and saving words of Jesus to the problems of modern life and the modern world. In A Brief Life of Christ, Sheen employs the twin pillars of faith and reason to draw out the meaning of the life of Jesus for our times. He pointedly shows how Christ issues His challenge alike to nations, peoples, and individual souls. The final chapters on Christ’s public life, and Passion, Death, and Resurrection contain tremendous insights and provide material for a lifetime of reflection.

What Every Catholic Should Know

At every Sunday Mass, Catholics confess that Jesus came down from heaven “for us men and for our salvation.” But what does “salvation” mean? In this robust and accessible book, Scripture scholar and theologian Michael Patrick Barber provides a thorough, deeply Catholic, and deeply biblical, answer. He deftly tackles this complex topic, unpacking what the New Testament teaches about salvation in Christ, detailing what exactly salvation is, and what it is not. In easy and readable prose, he explains what the Cross, the Church, and the Trinity have to do with salvation. While intellectually stimulating, Salvation: What Every Catholic Should Know is deeply spiritual, and at its core is the salvific message that God is love, and his love is one of transformation and redemption.
