Living in the Christian Faith -- an examination of the Ten Commandments, the Beatitudes and the Commandments of the Church 3. Sources of the Christian Life -- a consideration of grace, the Sacraments, prayer, the liturgy Keeping in mind that a good catechism must speak to the hearts of the faithful and answer their questions in clear, understandable language, The Question and Answer Catholic Catechism presents the modern Catholic with the essentials of the Catholic faith in a manner that is easy to use and spiritually sound.

This modern-day catechism sets forth fifty-two questions and answers designed to build a framework to help adults and children alike understand core Christian beliefs.
