Publisher's Synopsis
For many Catholics, knowledge of the faith is as spotty as their knowledge of the Bible. Certain aspects we might know well, but there are often many areas that have received too little attention. As teachers, catechists, and parents, it is vital that we hold in our minds a full picture of the Catholic worldview. This book is for the teachers who want to make sure they know the whole story. It is not an argument to convince the skeptic. It is a picture to show the faithful. We mean to paint a dynamic orthodoxy - the culture that makes us Catholic. So often our debates or explanations about contemporary issues lead us away from the characters and major events that make up the story. We forget the practices that form Catholic culture and our way of life. The goal of this book is to help paint the Catholic picture in its whole, using all the vivid colors and characters that constitute the Catholic Palette.
