Publisher's Description

• An important launchpad for those who lead churches or have other kinds of teaching responsibility in churches • Demonstrates how catachesis is situated within a life of practice and worship, refusing to treat it as a purely intellectual exercise • Catachesis has long been an important church life across the traditions, and is finding a new lease of life as churches explore different ways of discipling congregations.

Editorial Reviews

"Catechesis embodies the central calling of the Christian community to pass on the faith – living it, teaching it, being enriched by it. This is a bold book which captures both the scope and the urgency of the task. It will be a vital resource for all who take that central calling seriously." -- Humphrey Southern, Principal, Ripon College Cuddesdon

"This insightful and often exciting guide to Christian teaching really challenged me to think again about my own practice in terms of catechesis in which we enable people to echo the life of Christ himself. Teaching here is an action, doctrine a participation and our development in holiness a skillful exercise of virtue in which we venture ever more deeply into God's life. This book will give new confidence to those involved in Christian formation and demonstrate that belief and practice can never be separated." -- Alison Milbank, University of Nottingham, UK
