A Great Beginning into Catholic Theology

I am pursuing a Masters Degree in Catholic Theology, and have read quite a bit of theology from a variety of sources, yet I find myself continuing to return to this book because it truly is a great introduction to fundamental ideas essential to our faith. It is a "first step" in "faith seeking understanding" that I think will leave you wanting to learn more. Even if you don't read any further on these five ideas, it gives you a concise, intelligent introduction to these vital topics and will help you in your journey of faith. I have given several copies away to friends and those interested in "learning more about the Catholic faith." That should tell you something good about this book.

5 Great Stars...

These ideas are great not because they are good, but also they serve as general tools for working on other ideas in the Catholic Community. What is the Immaculate Conception? A structural and solid explanation is given here. That which is foundational is also novel. The author offers a "net" that readers can use to gather many Catholic topics together.

Well written and understandable

I really enjoyed this book and found it informative and accurate.
