4.0 out of 5 stars Thurough Overview of the Catholic Faith, April 17, 2001

By	Craig (Las Vegas, NV) - See all my reviews

We use this book with our RCIA process. It gives a good overview of the Catholic Faith. Fr. Hardon has taken the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC) and paraphresed it in shorter form. He holds to the order and layout of the CCC and even references every paragragh to it making it simpole to do further study on any topic you are reading. This is great for the Catholic who wants to know more about their faith or for those who do not understand Catholicism and want a clear overview.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Q&A Catechism, January 13, 2004

By	Rich Leonardi (Cincinnati, Ohio United States) - See all my reviews

Those familiar with the Q&A format of the old Baltimore Catechism will enjoy Fr. Hardon's treatment of the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC). He takes the 500+ pages of the CCC and distills it to about 270 pages of clear prose.

His inspiring introduction suggests ways Catholics should use the Catechism to deepen their faith.
