Catholic Basics
A Pastoral Ministry Series
This book is an introduction to the history, theology, and pastoral practice of the Church’s liturgy and her sacraments. It is intended particularly for those who have not had the opportunity to engage in a formal, systematic program of theological study and reflection. This book provides many facts about the Church’s ritual celebrations. More important than presenting facts, however, this book tries to help readers better understand how the Church thinks about her sacraments—and why.

Good book for Sacramental Basics,

This review is from: Sacramental Theology: Means of Grace, Way of Life (Catholic Basics: A Pastoral Ministry Series) (Paperback)
The book is well written. However, the author leans a little on the modernist side. He calls into question the historicity of parts of Sacred Scripture which is contrary to the Catechism. If we can't rely on the Gospels being a historically accurate portrait of Christ, then what can we rely on?

Fr. Kurt is one of my all-time favorite sacramental theologians. I had him for two courses on the sacraments, and his clear and inspiring discussion of the sacraments has served me well in my spiritual life, my further theological studies, and in my professional life as high school religion teacher and college theology professor. I highly recommend this book.

This review is from: Sacramental Theology: Means of Grace, Way of Life (Catholic Basics: A Pastoral Ministry Series) (Paperback)
A very good book. But, difficult to read because all the pages fell out of the book bind...poor glue used. If you can get over this, the book is quite informative.
