AN ACT OF FAITH.
This volume continues the famed Baltimore series, designed as a two‑year course for those who have completed confirmation. Arranged in a clear question‑and‑answer style, it builds on the earlier books while adding concise explanations that make the core teachings accessible to young adults and teachers alike. The layout follows the Council’s progressive plan, offering just the right amount of material for each stage of learning.
In its eleven lessons the catechism walks listeners through the purpose of human life, the nature of God and the Trinity, the story of creation, the fall of the first parents, and the many dimensions of sin. It then explores the incarnation, Christ’s passion, resurrection, and the work of the Holy Spirit, concluding with cherished prayers such as the Lord’s Prayer and the Apostles’ Creed. The tone is straightforward and reverent, making it a practical resource for classroom study or personal reflection.
