Recommended for Grades 10-11

This Student Exercise Book complements the Teacher Manual with the same title, providing an introduction to basic elements of Church history and ecclesiology.  Students begin to understand the historical roots of the teachings, traditions, and practices central to Catholic life today.  This unit helps students to gain insight into how theology has developed, how our Church works today, and the important role that students play in forming the Church of tomorrow.  Students come away with an understanding of the nature, function, and ministry of our Church. 

The text consists of five parts: From Jerusalem to Rome; From Preaching to Doctrine; From Monarchy to Reform; From Luther to Trent; and From Modernism to the Modern Era. 

Exercise books can serve as records of individual faith journeys.  Activities stimulate class involvement, explore real-life experience, promote biblical and doctrinal literacy, foster creative thinking, teach community commitment, invite spiritual growth and prayer, and present service as essential to discipleship.  This resource is to be used in conjunction with the Teacher Manual by the same title.
