Book Description
The controversial question and answer 80 of the Heidelberg Catechism, which condemns the “popish Mass,” seems to some a harsh statement in this document otherwise admired for its warm pastoral style and genial tone. Viewing this question and answer as unnecessarily polemical and injurious to the Catechism’s usefulness as a contemporary statement of the Christian faith, some Reformed denominations have removed it from the text. Cornel Venema provides historical background and biblical teaching to defend the Catechism’s inclusion of question and answer 80, arguing that it must be retained today, as it “reflects a fundamental evangelical passion to uphold the sufficiency of Christ’s one sacrifice on the cross and to condemn idolatry in whatever form.” Table of Contents: 1. The Historical Occasion, Authorship, and Purposes of the Heidelberg Catechism 2. The Inclusion of Q&A 80 3. Assessing the Original Validity of Q&A 80 4. Assessing the Continued Value of Q&A 80: A Present Case 5. Conclusion: The Benefits of Retaining Q&A 80

Book Description
Here it is -- the first new Catechism of the Catholic Church in more than 400 years, a complete summary of what Catholic throughout the world believe in common. This book is the catechism (the word means "instruction") that will serve as the standarad for all future catechisms. The Catechism draws on the Bible, the Mass, the Sacraments, Church tradition and teaching, and the lives of saints. It comes with a complete index, footnotes and cross-references for a fuller understanding of every subject. Using the tradition of explaining what the Church believes (the Creed), what she celebrates (the Sacraments), what she lives (the Commandments), and what she prays (the Lord's Prayer), 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. Here is a positive, coherent and contemporary map for our spiritual journey toward transformation. The Catechism of the Catholic Church is, as Pope John Paul II calls it, "a special gift."

Book Description
Into All Truth presents the basic beliefs of the Catholic Church, beginning with the Resurrection. That extraordinary event prompted Jesus' followers to reflect on his identity and mission, which in turn led them to see the one God as an eternal communion of Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The Good News of the Catholic Church is that God invites every man and woman into this communion. With extensive use of the Bible, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and the documents of the Second Vatican Council, Into All Truth explains clearly and succinctly the dogmas of the Catholic Church that flow from her faith in the Trinity. Each dogma is traced back to the faith of the first followers of Jesus, and its development over time is explored. Each chapter also outlines the implications of a given belief. The Resurrection, for example, has as much to say about human destiny as about the ultimate fate of Jesus. This book is intended for the general reader, Catholic and non-Catholic alike. An online study guide is available for use with this book. It is an ideal way for young adults, and older adults as well to deepen their understanding of the Catholic faith.
