God Loves: Jesus Christ Enters the World (Student Text)

God Loves: Jesus Christ Enters the World is an introduction to Jesus Christ as God Incarnate and the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity. This course focuses on God’s revelation through the Incarnation and its transformative impact on those baptized in Christ. This transformation is manifested in students making personal choices to be committed disciples of Christ. But how do they reach this goal? By first hearing the Good News and then understanding its meaning. This text traces how the Father’s eternal plan culminated in his coming to the world in the Divine Person of the Son of God and how that event impacts our own individual lives. It is a plan formed and sustained by the love of God

God Loves, based on Course II of the USCCB Curriculum Framework, is perfect for a one-semester course on Scripture and Christology. This text explores what Jesus reveals about God the Father, the Holy Spirit, and the Blessed Trinity—three Divine Persons in one God—and our relationship with the Trinity. Students will learn about these mysteries by studying early Church heresies, along with the teachings of Church Fathers and saints. At its heart, the message is simple and personal: “God is Love,” which the text encourages students to reflect on in prayer.
