Description
As Catholic catechists, our relationship with God involves literally hundreds of symbols. We take them for granted and hardly notice when others dont get them, including those we teach. Here Michael Daley offers a fascinating and informative overview of our symbolic language. He breaks these down into core symbols of Catholicism, symbolic persons from Scripture, saints as symbolic persons, virtues, Christian symbols, and symbols of the Mass. Each chapter includes questions for review and reflection, activities for learners, and a prayer starter. This is a must-have resource for anyone who teaches about the faithor just plain wants to know more about it.
