1) Hardcover Book Introduction To Catholicism: A Complete Course by Midwest Theological Forum. I have seen and read most catechisms, bible studies, and intro to theology books on the market. My background includes a Master´s in Theology. I would recommend the entire Didache Series and Introduction to Catholicism in particular. The doctrine is sound, the format attractive, the content enlightening, and it lends itself to use on several levels. It is long overdue that we have in the Church such a great series of textbooks for young (and not so young!) adults.¤ 2) Hardcover Book Introduction To Catholicism: A Complete Course by Midwest Theological Forum. Well I guess this is no real big surprise as Dr Hahn is perhaps the best American Catholic mind I have ever encountered.
First his conversion story got me thinking and when you do that and have a resource like Dr Hahn available well you start to understand.....and understanding in my case led to my ongoing attempt to return to the Catholic Church (infant baptism and then Mass 50!!! years later.
Now as I am waiting to see if I can get healthy enough to go through RCIA or I move on to Purgatory I still am reading anything I can afford with his name on it. My 20 years as a S Baptist Adult Bible teacher, Prison Ministry creator and teacher, Sunday night preacher left behind I am one of the Church homeless, oh I go to Mass, but no Eucharist makes it much less than it should be. Without the good Dr this would be a lost cause and for that I am thankful for all his books and studies.
Now about this book ´Indroduction to the Catholic Church´ and it´s more popular brother ´Understanding the Scriptures´ both part of the 4-volume ´Didache Series´ put out by Midwest Theological Forum. Two other titles complete the series but right now these two are more than enough to fill your mind & spirit with knowledge, insight, wisdom, and hope, while laying down the best foundation for the Catholic faith you can find in this world. Now what kills me is that this was written for high school students, but everyone, and I mean everyone who professes the Catholic Faith as theirs will benefit from just these two books the four together, well I believe you can begin teaching others.
The Introduction is perfect for the new Catholic to see a wonderful view of the Faith as a whole organic Body. The cradle Catholic, blessed persons that they are, will be refreshed and revitalized as the sweeping view of their lifelong faith is written out as well as ever done in this modern age.
So in conclusion anyone of, or interested in the Catholic faith can do no better than this book or this and ´Understanding the Scriptures´ and even better the entire ´Didache Series´ which all of us this side of Vatican II are blessed to have for comprehending the whole of the One Truth Faith, the One Holy and Apostolic faith, the beautiful and rich Catholic faith.

¤ 3) Hardcover Book Introduction To Catholicism: A Complete Course by Midwest Theological Forum. Simply the best one-volume introduction to the Catholic faith that I have ever seen.
I was first introduced to this book (and this series) when a close friend who teaches theology at my son´s high school ordered a sample set.
I was blown away. There is no other way to describe this.
The book is ideal for Catholic high schools (and, for that matter, some Catholic colleges) and also for RCIA.
You can trust this book.
You can trust this series.
Very, very highly recommended.¤ Page Updated: Robert N. Goolsby, 2-Dec-2008, 18901772889781890177287, 700-820-090-881-961-741-671-8
