Manual of the Catholic Religion

A Manual of the Catholic Religion for Self-Instruction

Catholics have an obligation to study the tenets of the Catholic Faith and to solidify that knowledge through ongoing study throughout their lives. We cannot love what we do not know, we cannot defend what we do not understand, and we cannot guide others without proper preparation.

This manual is one of the finest tools of catechesis ever created for adults.

Listen to how this Catholic priest and author describes his book: "I offer the Catholic public a book which contains in brief a complete exposition of the whole of Christian doctrine, so that whoever has mastered its contents may be called, and truly is, a perfectly instructed Christian. I thought that a manual as complete, brief, clear, and systematic as possible, adapted equally for teachers and for self-instruction, would be desirable."

Knowing the Catholic Faith is absolutely crucial in our modern world, particularly for educated laypeople. This work intends to fill that need, enabling individuals to understand and explain their faith and to incorporate this knowledge into their actions in the world.

"But sanctify the Lord Christ in your hearts, being ready always to satisfy every one that asketh you a reason for that hope which is in you." —1 Peter 3:15
