Description:In this thought-provoking new book in the Catechist Handbooks series, leading theologian and Anglican priest Hans Boersma tackles the most important question for recovering a robust practice of church-based catechesis: What is it ultimately for?Beginning with an account of the loss of a sacramental teleology in modernity, Boersma charts a constructive account of what it might mean for catechesis to be not just teaching “stuff” about God but about initiating new believers into God’s very own life. Catechesis, Boersma argues, should be understood as a form of mystagogy. It is an apprenticeship in which the Divine Master leads us by the hand and draws us into fellowship with Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Catechesis is aimed at nothing less than seeing God face to face.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
