AN EXCELLENT COMPANION PIECE TO FR. MCBRIEN'S CATHOLICISM,
By
This review is from: The Word Made Flesh: An Overview of the Catholic Faith (Paperback)
This text serves as an even more accessible text than the excellent volume prepared by Notre Dame's pre-eminent Catholic Theologian Fr. Richard McBrien's Catholicism. Together they give the student an invaluable overview of our Universal Catholic Church and her Faith, meaning and mission to the modern world.
The Paulist Press as ever must be thanked for publishing such an important work.

This review is from: The Word Made Flesh: An Overview of the Catholic Faith (Paperback)
My two sons attended a Jesuit High School and this book was used in their religious education classes. This is a wonderful book! It is so well written and meaningful. My sons have since graduated but I always keep this book handy for myself and my husband to help us stay spiritually in touch with our faith. Anthony Marinelli has written a beautiful explanation of the Catholic faith.

A Work of Great Faith,
By Jayo! "tv producer" (NY, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Word Made Flesh: An Overview of the Catholic Faith (Paperback)
This book is a wonderful expression of the Catholic faith for young adults and adolescents. Anthony Marinelli writes for his audience and explains faith in a way that will be meaningful and applicable to the lives of those he strives to reach. Bestowing the gifts of faith to the next generation at times call for something beyond orthodoxy...Marinelli's book is a suitable start for anyone beginning a journey of faith in Catholicism.
