How is it that Islam is so feared and misunderstood among Christians? Is there any possibility of an open dialogue between Muslims and Christians that will lead to a greater understanding of both? Ralf K. Wüstenberg explores these and other questions in an in-depth investigation of Islam, using as his guide the teachings of the revered Muslim scholar, Al-Ghazali, and placing them in dialogue with those of the protestant theologian and Reformer, John Calvin. The journey of discovery offered in this book is of long-lasting value to both Christians and Muslims as they seek to find common ground in understanding the most important and basic tenets of each other’s faith.
There is no doubt that membership in the Christian Church has decreased recently to a minority of the population in Europe and is approaching that in the United States, yet in both areas a majority of the population still claims to be Christian. That being the case, what does being a Christian mean to those who don’t belong to a church? If it doesn’t mean following Jesus, it is a misnomer. At the beginning of the current era, Europe was controlled by the Roman Empire. This evolved into religious control by the Roman Catholic Church for several centuries, then into strife between the Roman Catholic Church and the churches of the Protestant Reformation As a result of these events, a culture developed that is commonly referred to as conventional wisdom, a philosophy that is roughly taken from that of the Christian Church, but doesn’t follow any doctrine of the church completely. This way of life is sometimes referred to as Cultural Christianity.
Written in accord with the Catechism of the Catholic Church and rooted in the sound catechetical principles of the National Catechetical Directory, these texts present a well-defined curriculum model that stresses clear objectives, careful organization, and creative methods and evaluation procedures to check the attainment of goals. Very flexible, allowing teachers to select materials to highlight and stress, each text can be implemented on various grade levels for a quarter, a semester, or a full year depending on the length and frequency of class meetings.This text begins with a discussion of the wonders of God's love in such things as creation, the incarnation, forgiveness and salvation, followed by a call to respond to this love through faith and loving service. A chapter on signs, symbols, and sacraments gives a solid foundation for understanding Catholic sacramental theology. This prepares the way for a discussion of each of the seven sacraments that covers the historical developments, the way the sacrament is celebrated today, and the ways students can live the reality of each of the sacraments in their lives.

Father Thomas Dubay, one of the foremost authorities on the religious life, discusses one of the most important but not fully appreciated or understood charisms of the consecrated life, the charism of virginity. Although the idea of virginity is unpopular and even despised in modern society, Dubay emphasizes that the importance of evangelical virginity is rooted in its Biblical foundation, both in the Old and New Testaments. Examining in detail what the call to virginity is and how it is integrated into the whole of consecrated life, Dubay presents his study in such a way as to be of importance to men as well. Noting that a woman, because of her feminine nature and traits, can image and live the Church's wedded relationship to Christ more realistically, Dubay points out that men with the celibate charism are also members of the virgin Church that is wedded to Christ, just as in the Old Testament the People of God was a virgin bride wedded to Yahweh. The common and distinct elements of male and female consecrated love are fully captured in these pages.
