  This thorough, full-color revision of the popular Jesus of History, Christ of Faith invites students to understand Jesus through a study of the New Testament. The student text for ninth- and tenth-graders first considers the New Testament as a whole, particularly the Gospels, and moves to the Jewish historical, religious, and cultural world into which Jesus was born. Using the Gospels as the primary sources, the text explores Jesus’ birth, early life, and ministry; his preaching of the Kingdom of God; his special teachings, particularly the parables; and his miracles. It then focuses on the scriptural accounts of his death and Resurrection, the Ascension, and Pentecost, and their central significance for the church’s understanding of Jesus as the Christ, the Son of God. Two chapters on Paul’s missionary work and Epistles develop major themes in his theology. All other books of the New Testament are described in sidebars. The text closes with an overview of the development of Christology after the New Testament to the present.
  This third edition has added more thorough or explicit treatments of some aspects of scriptural study and Christology–for instance, the inspiration of the Scriptures, the humanity and divinity of Jesus, the role and meaning of Jesus’ miracles, Jesus’ self-claims, the meanings of the Eucharist and Jesus’ death, and the role of sacrifice in salvation. New, eye-catching graphic elements and original art, informative sidebars, and engaging reflection activities have also been added. Review questions and a glossary of terms are also included as study aids for students.

  Additional Info
  The course Understanding Catholic Christianity offers a comprehensive overview of Catholicism for ninth graders, to serve as a foundation for the other high school religion courses and faith formation experiences they will have. It also provides a common vocabulary for articulating the essentials of Catholic teaching.

  This extensively revised edition of Understanding Catholic Christianity was developed using the Catechism of the Catholic Church as a primary source and roughly parallels its four-part structure:

  CCC part one, “The Profession of Faith.” Eight chapters of the course treat the topics of faith, the human person as an adolescent, the Jewish roots of Catholic Christianity, the Incarnation, Jesus Christ’s life and ministry, his death and Resurrection, the Holy Spirit in the church, and the roles of the sacred Scriptures and Tradition as ways in which God’s revelation is communicated.
  CCC part two, “The Celebration of the Christian Mystery.” Two chapters of the course treat the topics of the sacraments and the liturgical year.
  CCC part three, “Life in Christ.” One chapter of the course focuses on Christian morality.
  CCC part four, “Christian Prayer.” One chapter of the course focuses on spirituality and prayer.
  The course is designed to cover the basics of Catholic belief and practice while engaging students where they are in their life and leading them to discover how the rich heritage of Catholic Christianity relates to their life. The text does not assume a Catholic background or a committed faith in its readers, but it can bring Catholic and non-Catholic young people alike to a deeper appreciation of Catholicism’s beliefs, rituals, moral vision, and prayer life.

  For each chapter, the student text provides the following features:

  Stories, writings by teens, fifty outstanding artworks by students, and intriguing original art bring the material alive for students.
  Activities in the text margins encourage personal reflection on the course concepts.
  Review questions at the end of each major section of a chapter aid in cognitive mastery.
