Book Description

December 14, 2007
Book Description:

"A Catechism of Christian Doctrine, Prepared and Enjoined by Order of the Third Council of Baltimore (or, simply, the Baltimore Catechism) was the de facto standard Catholic school text in the United States from 1885 to the 1960s. It was the first such catechism written for Catholics in North America, replacing a translation of Bellarmine's Small Catechism. In response to criticisms, various editions include annotations or other modifications. The Baltimore Catechism remained in use in nearly all Catholic schools until many moved away from catechism-based education, though it is still used up to this day in some." (Quote from wikipedia.org)

3.0 out of 5 stars Great catechism; sloppy edition (Forgotten Books), January 21, 2010
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Baltimore Catechism: (Forgotten Books) (Paperback)
The Baltimore Catechism(s) is great, and this edition has 1, 2, and 3 printed in an easy-to-read font. I have no criticisms towards the content. My three stars are given to the quality of the book from this publisher (Forgotten Books).

The editing is poorly done. There are typos that stick out rather conspicuously. I wouldn't mention it if they weren't conspicuous. Sentences are cut halfway and entered onto the next line when they could have not been so. The entire series of the Baltimore Catechism and every other book from this publisher (Forgotten Books) is online for free at their website, but the Baltimore Catechism is also available online elsewhere. Considering that the book is for free on their website and free on the internet and very short, I am perplexed as to why the book was so poorly edited. In fact the opening of the book cuts out snippets from Wikipedia to describe what the Baltimore Catechism is and what the Third Council of Baltimore was, which I found rather impersonal and tacky.

The final criticism is that there is a laminated layer covering the paperback cover, and that layer is starting to peel after I've had the book for little over a month.

I think, in hindsight, it would also be good to have the different Catechisms as separate books, for it makes browsing easier and, I can imagine, although I am not a teacher nor a catechist, teaching easier.

In conclusion, although this edition is cheap and essentially fine if one doesn't mind typos, poor formatting, etc., the stickler in me regrets not purchasing from a more reputable publisher, like TAN Books who also offers the fourth Baltimore Catechism written for teachers as a supplement. I will admit that I was taken in by the cover of the book and the price. I do often judge books by their covers. In this case, I was mistaken.
