| Product Description(© 2010) This text has been found in conformity with the Catechism
of the Catholic Church.
Jesus Christ: God's Revelation to the World is the first in a
three book series written for the beginning courses of the U.S. Bishops'
Curriculum Framework. It provides a map for high school students to
navigate the wonderful work of God--Father, Son, and Spirit--in forming
a People, giving a Law, and preparing for the Messiah. The one-semester
course is intended to give students a general knowledge and
appreciation of Sacred Scripture while coming to encounter Jesus Christ.
Covering the basics of the Christian faith by tracing key stages of
Salvation History, this text introduces vocabulary, doctrine, events,
and people that will appear throughout a four-year curriculum. While this text is a study of both the Old and New Testament, it begins by
centering the study of Scripture on a person's natural instinct to
search for God. Jesus Christ: God's Revelation to the World is
a versatile text that follows the first course of the new curriculum
framework but is also suitable for schools teaching a one-semester
scripture course or an Introduction to the Catholic faith course in
both high schools and parish religious education programs.
Each chapter includes several special features:
- Panel activities that help the students foster total learning in
hands(service), hearts (prayer), and mind (academic challenges).
- Review questions for each main section.
- Several Journal Assignments for deeper thought and reflection.
- Key vocabulary terms set off in margin panels.
- A Learn by Doing project for each chapter that provides a
longer-term assignment.
- A Called to Prayer feature offering text from a prayer relevant
to the chapter theme.
NEW features that enhance this text:
- A "Chapter Quick View" feature with page references that allow
students to scan the chapter for main points.
- In-text glossary definitions with a variety of activities to help
students learn key terms.
- Several "Primary Source Quotations" from the words of saints,
Church Fathers, and the Church documents.
- Many "Ongoing Assignments" for each chapter that can be assigned
as long-term projects, extra credit, and follow-up to the lessons learned.
- A prayer experience and reflection for each chapter.
This text was written in accordance with the U.S. Bishops' Curriculum Framework and follows Course I: Revelation of Jesus Christ in Scripture.
