Living the Catechism of the Catholic Church (4 vols.)
Digital Verbum Edition
Overview
Cardinal Christoph Schönborn, the editor of the monumental Catechism of the Catholic Church, provides concise, sage commentary on the same Catechism. Through each volume’s meditations, Schönborn’s hope is not only for the reader to have a better grasp of Catholic doctrine and belief, but to grow in a greater love of the person of Jesus Christ. With practical advice and insight that synthesizes Scripture, the Church Fathers, and the wisdom of the saints, these four volumes are meant to move the spirit into closer devotion to the Christ who envisioned it all. Conveniently segmented into 52 meditations per volume—which you can take as chapters, weekly devotionals, or study notes for your small group—these volumes connect the paragraphs of the Catechism to the life of faith.
The Logos edition connects this meditational study with the Catechism itself. Read these two volumes side-by-side as you study the Catechism and look for ways to apply it to your life. Scripture references appear on mouseover and references to the saints and Church Fathers lead you to their sources, giving you more study potential than ever before.
- Provides over 200 meditations covering the four parts of the Catechism
- Includes insights from the Catechism’s primary editor
- Offers pastoral advice for living a faithful and Christ-centered life
Deserves wide circulation. No one is better qualified than Schönborn to write on how the Catechism is to be lived. An indispensable companion to the Catechism.
