Understanding Catholic Christianity

As young teens begin to understand the rich heritage of Catholicism, they need a text that engages them at their stage of life. The one- or two-semester course Understanding Catholic Christianity offers a comprehensive overview of Catholicism for ninth graders that gives these teens a foundation in their religion. Through engaging stories, writings by teens, and inspiring original artwork, the student text comes alive. This extensively revised edition of Understanding Catholic Christianity was developed using the Catechism of the Catholic Church and covers topics including faith; the adolescent; the Jewish roots of Catholic Christianity; Jesus Christ's life, ministry, death, and Resurrection; the sacraments and the liturgical year; and spirituality and prayer.
