Barron condenses the breadth and depth of the Church into a small book, and even manages to convey some of its profundity. ( ) “What I propose to do in this book is to take you on a guided exploration of the Catholic world, but not in the manner of a docent, for I am not interested in showing you the artifacts of Catholicism as though they were dusty objets d’art in a museum of culture. I want to function rather as a mystagogue, conducting you ever deeper into the mystery of the incarnation in the hopes that you might be transformed by its power.” –Father Robert Barron Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten. Father (now Bishop) Barron manages to touch on a great range of Catholic teaching and thought, showing not only the cogency of its claims but also the beauty, dignity and charm it possesses. It is not quite the apologetic work other books have attempted, and its breadth prevents Fr. Barron from plunging deep into some of the issues he raises. Overall, very good. Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten. I put off reading this for a long time, the subject matter seemed weighty, but once I settled in the imagery and thought provoking text drew me right in. Well done!Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten. Could you imagine touring all fifty of the United States in less than a week? This book, Catholicism, by Robert Barron manages to hit all the most important points of the teachings of the Catholic Church. I only discovered the DVD this book accompanies after I'd completed reading. There may be slightly different material covered in the video project, (I have not seen all of it), but they seem to dovetail one into the other. Which came first? I could not say. They both use the advantages of their media format quite well. I find Barron delightfully clear and direct. There are a few places where I find his logical arguments unconvincing, but some of that may be just my tendency to strain at gnats. On the whole, I'd say this is an excellent resource for filling in the gaps for someone of the Catholic faith and a help to anyone outside the Catholic Church who wants an accurate picture of just what do Catholics believe. Once you've read The Holy Bible, and probably before attempting to trudge your way through the Catechism, walk with Robert Barron. You'll be glad you did. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

What I propose to do in this audiobook is to take you on a guided exploration of the Catholic world, but not in the manner of a docent, for I am not interested in showing you the artifacts of Catholicism as though they were dusty objects d'art in a museum of culture. I want to function rather as a mystagogue, conducting you ever deeper into the mystery of the incarnation in the hopes that you might be transformed by its power. -Fr. Robert Barron What is Catholicism? A 2,000-year-old living tradition? A worldview? A way of life? A relationship? A mystery? In Catholicism Fr. Robert Barron examines all these questions and more, seeking to capture the body, heart, and mind of the Catholic faith. Starting from the essential foundation of Jesus Christ's incarnation, life, and teaching, Father Barron moves through the defining elements of Catholicism- from sacraments, worship, and prayer, to Mary, the apostles, and saints, to grace, salvation, heaven, and hell-using his distinct grasp of art, literature, architecture, personal stories, Scripture, theology, philosophy, and history to present the Church to the world. Paired with his documentary film series of the same title, Catholicism is an intimate journey, capturing "The Catholic Thing" in all its depth and beauty. Eclectic and inspiring, Fr. Barron brings the faith to life for a new generation, in a style that is both faithful to timeless truths and simultaneously speaks in the language of contemporary life.
