Evyatar Marienberg: Catholicism Today, Gebunden

Klappentext

Catholicism Todayprovides an accessible introduction to contemporary Catholicism, offering a non-confessional, non-partisan window into Catholicism today.

The book addresses common misconceptions and frequently-asked questions about the Church, its teaching, and the lived experiences of Catholics in modern societies worldwide. This second edition includes a major revision of many parts, taking into consideration both changes in the Church and changes in the general society since the first edition came out. The book explores the core beliefs and rituals that define Catholicism in practice, the organization of the Church and the Catholic calendar, as well as the broad question of what it means to be Catholic in a variety of cultural contexts.

Catholicism Today will be essential reading for students of religion, scholars of other faith traditions, and anyone interesting in learning more about Catholicism from a neutral, academic perspective.
