Catholicism: A Journey to the Heart of the Faith

Catholicism: A Journey to the Heart of the Faith

â‚¬Å“What I propose to do in this book is to take you on a guided exploration of the Catholic world, but not in the manner of a docent, for I am not interested in showing you the artifacts of Catholicism as though they were dusty objets dâ‚¬art in a museum of culture.Â I want to function rather as a mystagogue, conducting you ever deeper into the mystery of the incarnation in the hopes that you might be transformed by its power.â‚¬Â â‚¬â€œFather Robert Barron
Â
What is Catholicism? A 2,000-year-oldÂ living tradition? A worldview? A way of life? A relationship? A mystery? In Catholicism Father Robert Barron examines all these questions and more, seeking to capture the body, heart and mind of the Catholic faith.

Starting from the essential foundation of Jesus Christâ‚¬s incarnation, life, and teaching, Father Barron moves through the defining elements of Catholicism â‚¬â€œ from sacraments, worship, and prayer, to Mary, the Apostles, and Saints, to grace, salvation, heaven, and hell â‚¬â€œ using his distinct and dynamic grasp of art, literature, architecture, personal stories, Scripture, theology, philosophy, and history to present the Church to the world.

Paired with his documentary film series of the same title, Catholicism is an intimate journey, capturing â‚¬Å“The Catholic Thingâ‚¬Â in all its depth and beauty. Eclectic, unique, and inspiring, Father Barron brings the faith to life for a new generation, in a style that is both faithful to timeless truths, while simultaneously speaking in the language of contemporary life.
