The Catholic Church: Journey, Wisdom and Mission Teacher Guide

How does the Catholic Church exist in the historical context of the world? The Catholic Church,ideal as a one-semester course for eleventh- and twelfth-grade students, explores the developments, people, and events that have shaped the Church. Each chapter focuses on one time period.

Using vignettes and special readings to make the history more personal and specific, the student text engages teens to see the full historical dimension of the Catholic Church. Full-color, original illustrations, photographs, charts, cartoons, timelines, and maps acquaint students with people, places, and movements important to the history of the Church. Study aids include review questions after each section and activitiesin the margins of the text to help students connect to the material with their own lives.

The teaching manual supports the student text and includes prayers, prayer services, review questions and answers, student activities, discussion questions, role-play situations, suggestions for interviews and guest speakers, student handouts, and much more.
