Our Holy Faith Vol 7: Messiah

Published by TAN Books

Overview

Give your child a solid foundation in the Faith with the acclaimed Our Holy Faith series of religion textbooks for grades 1–8. Long trusted by families seeking orthodox Catholic formation, these newly re-typeset TAN Books editions have been carefully revised with modernized language and updates reflecting current Church practice. Expanded explanations of core doctrines and carefully selected quotations from Sacred Scripture, the saints, and the Catechism enrich each lesson.

Catechesis must shape both the mind and the heart. The Our Holy Faith series engages students spiritually as well as intellectually through “For Me to Do” sections that encourage practical application of the truths learned. Traditional prayers drawn from reliable Catholic sources are integrated into each lesson so that children not only study the Faith but practice it.

Book 7, Messiah, serves as a foundational course in Bible history. It begins with the Old Testament as the record of God’s dealings with His people before the coming of the Redeemer, highlighting the passages that prefigure and foreshadow the life and mission of Jesus Christ. Students then study the four Gospels and the Acts of the Apostles, discovering the mystery of the Incarnation, the work of Redemption, and the continuing presence of Christ in His Church. The text also shows how the Holy Spirit faithfully guides and protects the Church throughout history.

• Study salvation history from the Old Testament to the Acts of the Apostles
• Recognize Old Testament prefigurements of Christ and His Redemption
• Learn how Christ remains with His Church through the Holy Spirit
