| <,P>Context shapes behavior and provokes questions. As men and women adapt to new times and ways, their faith, too, must adapt. In The Living Church: Old Treasures, New Discoveries, Christopher M. Bellitto carefully explains how seven key elements developed through the centuries and became part of the Catholic tradition.<,P>Those elements: Church doctrine, the sacraments, Scripture, how the Church operates, the Mass, how Catholics walk with non-Catholics, and how Catholics live the faith all are the result of a process that involves asking questions that bring core teaching into dialogue with current experiences. Thus our faith adapts in ways that express God',s love at work in our lives today.<,P><,I>The Living Church: Old Treasures, New Discoveries<,/I> provides the historical context for the decisions, doctrine, and practice of the faith that were outlined in Bellitto',s companion title, Church History 101. Bellitto will introduce you to a living Church and take you on a lively journey of faith that is as exciting today as any time in history.<,P><,A href=",http://www.liguori. rg/pdf/820397_interior.pdf , target=_blank>View sample pages.<,/A><,P><,I>Pape back<,/I><,/P> |
