The theme of this book is that the Catechism of the Catholic Church offers, not only a new, definitive account for our times of the full teaching of the Catholic faith, but also that it is a superbly crafted work from which to learn and to teach the Faith. This book reveals the pedagogy embedded in the Catechism, and shows every teacher, parent, catechist, or student how to discover the key principles that enable one to learn from, and teach from, the Catechism.
