Product Description
Volume 14 - DEHARBE.
This
volume contains two catechisms by that most outstanding German
catechist of the nineteenth century, Fr. Joseph Deharbe, S.J. First
joining the Jesuit mission to Switzerland in 1840, Fr. Deharbe was
widely regarded as a highly knowledgeable and engaging catechist and
evangelist, and was soon asked to compose a new German-language
catechism. His efforts yielded several brilliant catechisms for
different levels of understanding, which were swiftly adopted by the
episcopate of Germany and beyond. This volume reproduces two of his
best-known works: later, more polished editions of the Small Catechism
and the Complete Catechism of the Catholic Religion, written for
children and adults, respectively. With characteristically German
precision and clarity, Deharbe’s catechisms fostered the faith of
children and adults across an astounding span of time, in nearly every
European language (and many others besides), and remain admirable for
their sensible and endearing arrangement, brevity, and accuracy.
