Journey Around the World and Deep into the Faith. Fr. Robert Barron created the groundbreaking CATHOLICISM ADULT STUDY PROGRAM as a thematic presentation of what Catholics believe and why, so all adults can come to a deeper understanding of the Catholic Faith. Not a video lecture, Church history or scripture study, this engaging and interesting formational program uses the art, architecture, literature, music and all the treasures of the Catholic tradition to illuminate the timeless teachings of the Church.
The CATHOLICISM Adult Study Program presents the strong, ecclesial dimension of the Catholic Faith – God’s revelation through Jesus Christ and His Church. It is comprehensive and faithful, appropriate for: * RCIA * Adult lay formation * Training adult catechists * Diaconate and other ministerial training * Mature high school or college/university coursework The CATHOLICISM Study Program Leader’s Kit includes:
1. The ten compelling episodes from the Catholicism Series in a DVD box set. The box set includes five DVDs, each containing two episodes. Each episode runs 50-60 minutes. English and Spanish subtitles are included as viewing options.
2. The companion Leader’s Edition: Study Guide and Workbook, which includes extensive commentary on the theological content of each episode, plus “Questions for Understanding” (with suggested responses) and “Questions for Application.” The “Questions for Understanding” incorporate references from Scripture and from the Catechism of the Catholic Church to build on topics featured in the series. The “Questions for Application” help your group reflect on how Father Barron’s message is relevant to their lives and experiences. The study guide commentary and questions were written by Catholic author and Ignatius Press Blog Editor, Carl Olson, under the guidance and approval of Fr. Robert Barron. The Leader’s Guide also provides valuable direction on how to host and facilitate a group study in either 12 or 22 sessions.
