Dynamic Catholicism is a comprehensive, plain-language guide that provides students with a basic introduction to the Catholic faith and the historical evolution of the Church's teachings. Bokenkotter traces the myriad ways throughout history in which the Church has answered questions like: Who is Jesus? Or Mary? Who are the saints? What is marriage, divorce, homosexuality? What of social justice? The relationship of conscience to papal authority? "My aim," Bokenkotter says, "has been to sift through and select what seems most helpful and enlightening for those who seek an understanding of the essentials of Catholicism today."
THOMAS BOKENKOTTER, the author of the bestselling Church and Revolution, teaches at Xavier University. He is also the pastor of Assumption Church and is active in the social ministry, running a soup kitchen that he founded twenty years ago and a transitional living facility for homeless women and children. He lives in Cincinnati, Ohio. View titles by Thomas Bokenkotter
