5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent, and very reliable.,
This review is from: The Catholic Catechism: A Contemporary Catechism of the Teachings of the Catholic Church (Paperback)
I remember, more than 20 years after the fact, reading this book cover to cover while in college, and realizing for the first time that the whole thing made deep sense. I have recommended this book as a basic adult introduction to the teachings of the Catholic Church many times since, and continue to do so today.

Excellent introduction to the Roman Catholic Church,
By Robert Badger (Philadelphia, PA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Catholic Catechism: A Contemporary Catechism of the Teachings of the Catholic Church (Paperback)
When I was looking at Catholicism in the early 1990s, this was the only book available to me on Catholic doctrine in my public library. I lived in a very small, mostly Mormon town.
This book was a huge influence on my life. I ended up becoming Catholic after my move to Salt Lake City. I have often referred back to this book. It is very clealy written and quite useful to the ordinary Catholic. You won't find anything in here that is contrary to Catholic teaching. It is a faithful and sure exposition of the Catholic faith.

Doctrinally correct but tedious,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Catholic Catechism: A Contemporary Catechism of the Teachings of the Catholic Church (Paperback)
Fr. Hardon, I am glad to say, is a model of orthodoxy. This book is well-organized, and the sections on abortion and the Virgin Mary are particularly good. The writing, however, is very wordy and sometimes ornate; after 570 pages, it gets to be a bit much. Worse is his tendency to dismiss serious objections to the faith with little more than hand-waving, saying in effect, "Now let me just inform you of a few facts and your objection will vanish." For an overview of the basics, though, it is reliable.
