Fr. Laux’s A Course in Religion Series (Set of 4)

Fr. Laux High School Religion Series (Set of 4 Volumes)

By Father John Laux, M.A. · Published by TAN Books

Overview

How can young Catholics defend the Church against modern errors if they lack a structured understanding of its roots, logic, and moral framework? In a culture that actively seeks to dismantle Christian virtue and distort historical facts, young minds need a solid foundation. Relying on emotional appeals or watered-down catechesis will not equip them to face the intellectual challenges of higher education and secular society.

The Fr. Laux Set of 4 delivers the essential pillars of traditional Catholic high school instruction in one highly focused curriculum package. Written by the esteemed theologian and educator Father John Laux, M.A., this definitive series introduces young minds to the intellectual depths of the Faith with unmatched clarity and precision. Fr. Laux bypasses modern compromises, utilizing rigorous logic, documented history, and scriptural truth to build an unshakeable fortress for the teenage mind. By guiding students through the fundamentals of defense, historical context, sacramental life, and objective moral clarity, this set equips parents and teachers with an indispensable blueprint to form clear-thinking, devout, and fiercely loyal Catholic adults.

• Logical Apologetics: Learn how to systematically prove the existence of God, defend the divinity of Jesus Christ, and demonstrate the historical authority of the Catholic Church.
• True Church History: Trace the dramatic history of the Bride of Christ from Pentecost through the modern era, gaining the necessary historical facts to dispel anti-Catholic biases.
• Sacramental Reality: Examine the deep theological architecture, biblical origins, and supernatural graces poured out through the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and the Seven Sacraments.
• Objective Moral Formation: Align the conscience with the unchangeable moral law by exploring our absolute duties to God, neighbor, and self via the Decalogue and the Beatitudes.

Intended Audience

This essential curriculum set is highly recommended for traditional Catholic homeschoolers, classical co-ops, high school educators, and confirmation programs seeking a substantial, academically serious alternative to modern, simplified textbooks. It also functions beautifully as a rigorous self-study program for adult converts and cradle Catholics looking to firmly ground themselves in traditional Catholic teaching.
