From the rear cover
The Blackwell Companion to Catholicism offers an extensive survey of the history, doctrine, practices, and global circumstances of Roman Catholicism, written by a range of distinguished and experienced Catholic writers. The essays are addressed to all those who wish to broaden and deepen their knowledge of Catholic life and thought. The Companion is divided into four accessible parts:
- Catholic Histories includes essays on major eras of the Catholic story, from Scriptures and the early Church through the Middle Ages and Reformation to Modernity and Post-Modernity
- Catholic Cultures describes Catholics in different lands - the Holy Land and India and Africa, Europe and the British Isles and Ireland, Latin America and North America, Asia and Oceania
- Catholic Doctrines has essays on central topics in the practice of Catholic theology and development of doctrine - God and Jesus Christ, creation and Church and Mary, sacraments and moral theology, and eschatology
- Catholic Practices surveys some of the central Catholic practices: spirituality and ecumenism, inter-religious dialog and Catholic institutions (schools, hospitals, and charitable organizations), art and the natural sciences, the Holy See.
The result is a comprehensive and illuminating reference work, spanning the diversity and capturing the resonances of Roman Catholic life and thought.
