Prisms of Faith

"Prisms of Faith reflects the best scholarship of contemporary Catholic religious education and catechesis. It holds great potential to renew our efforts at sharing the faith in our postmodern world. It is also a fitting tribute to someone who has done this so well for so long--Professor Tom Walters."

Those who care about fostering vibrant Catholic identity through religious education will benefit from this rich collection of essays."
