This book would be useful to teachers and administrators in
Catholic schools, to participants in R.C.I.A. programs and, in
general, to anyone seeking to learn how Catholics make sense of
life today.Studies in Religion
. . . invaluable as a learning resource for candidates enrolled in
our certificate program for Catholic leadership in health,
education, and social services. . . . Thomas Rausch's accessible
text, enhanced in its second edition by Catherine Clifford's
comprehensive questions and glossary, should be required reading
for all Catholics over the age of 50 and strongly recommended for
everyone else.M.J. Marrocco, Director of Continuing Education,

This second edition of Rausch's extremely serviceable survey of
Roman Catholic faith, ethics, and practice has been augmented with
updated bibliographies, focus questions, and glossary to make the
work even more user-friendly for those who desire an overview of
the Roman Catholic Church. A useful appendix includes a three-page
list of places where topics in the present text correlate with
material found in the Catechism of the Catholic Church. . . .
Rausch writes with clarity, which should make this work a fine
first introduction to Catholicism for either classroom or adult
education.Theology Today
An expanded and updated version of Thomas Rausch's well-received,
Catholicism at the Dawn of the Third Millennium (1996), this volume
is a welcome source for undergraduate classes and adult study
groups. . . after receiving the review copy of Catholicism in the
Third Millennium, I decided to adopt it as the basic text for my
undergraduate course on Roman Catholicism. It will be interesting
to see if my students react to it as positively as I did.Catholic
