<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>In <i>A Light to the Nations</i>, the relationship of the Catholic Church with other ecclesial communities and non-Christian religions is clearly and thoughtfully outlined. Readers will learn about Salvation History and the founding of the Catholic Church, and how she experienced schisms, divisions, and sometimes-fraught relations with other faiths--and how this is not the end of the story. With a detailed and balanced approach, the book lays out principles for dialogue with our brothers and sisters from different faith traditions. Always with an eye to communion and reunification, A Light to the Nations shows how ecumenism and interreligious dialogue can be respectful, illuminating, and fruitful for all. <br><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>As Pope St. John Paul II made clear in his apostolic exhortation<i> Catechesi Tradendae</i>, "The definitive aim of catechesis is to put people not only in touch but in communion, in intimacy, with Jesus Christ."  <p/> The <i>Formed in Christ</i> series seeks to fulfill this call, fostering intimacy with Christ through its dynamic content.
