| Description: |
The author of this book, Gerard Baumbach, explores developments in contemporary catechesis within an historical framework. Within this approach he explains the role of key thinkers in each period of the history of catechesis, including Cyril of Jerusalem, Thomas Aquinas, Robert Bellarmine, and Joseph Jungman. Woven into this historical context are the major themes that have shaped this particular ministry. The book is presented in terms of catechesis being a journey on the way with each chapter etching out a significant aspect of the way. These include; identifying the way, marking the way, framing the way, spanning the way, sustaining the way and re-igniting the way.
The numerous reflection questions throughout the book help the reader prayerfully reflect and personally integrate the material offered. Baumbach’s style is to draw from his own experience, study, and implementation especially regarding the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults. In highlighting the four important characteristics of belonging, believing, discerning, and living, Baumbach enables the reader to connect the history of catechesis with his or her own faith and practice in the Church today.
The Way of Catechesis offers a new and timely perspective on the vital ministry of catechesis at a pivotal moment in the work of New Evangelization. It aims to foster a new appreciation of the opportunities and challenges of catechesis in the Church today.
