Synopsis

Vatican II ushered in an exciting new era, one filled with promise for an authentic renewal in how we understand and carry out our catechetical ministry. Unfortunately, the hoped for renewal never quite materialized. However, the recently published General Directory for Catechesis provides us with exciting new insights that equip us to finally complete the catechetical renewal the Second Vatican Council envisioned.

This book reviews the efforts of catechists to renew the ministry since Vatican II, observing not only the many successes but more importantly the problems, wrong turns and the obstacles encountered along the way. Using the insights provided by the General Directory for Catechesis, the author presents a bold new paradigm both for understanding and doing catechesis.
