From the brief “penny” catechisms of the 16th century to our own late 20th-century Catechism, scores of faithful priests, bishops, popes, saints, and even church councils have, for Catholics young and old, published succinct, reliable summaries of our Church’s perennial teachings: catechisms .In them, readers have encountered Catholic doctrine presented in refreshingly clear and even elegant language, often accompanied by handsome woodcuts on lovely pages. Now, for the first time ever, dozens of vintage catechisms are being unearthed and painstakingly restored. They are being reformatted for publication and presented to you in this extraordinary 20-volume, cross-indexed collection. Ranging from the 1200s to the mid-1900s, the historical catechisms of Catholic doctrine featured in this series include both well-known titles and others that have not been printed or read in centuries.
