Overview

As Pope St. John Paul II made clear in his apostolic exhortation Catechesi Tradendae, ""The definitive aim of catechesis is to put people not only in touch but in communion, in intimacy, with Jesus Christ.""  The Formed in Christ series seeks to fulfill this call, fostering intimacy with Christ through its dynamic content. Each of the texts is complemented by a comprehensive workbook designed to provide instructors with test material and direction for enhancing students' grasp of the material. I Will Build My Church explores the life, mission, and nature of the human family, which is the Church. Drawing upon both the words of Scripture and the writings of popes, bishops, saints, and ecumenical councils, this work introduces a Church that is both divine and human, planned for from all eternity, revealed in time, and active in the world today. It looks at its founding by Jesus Christ, its establishment by the apostles, and its continued work in history, and answers how the Church can be Christ's Body and Bride, the Family of God, the Ark of Salvation, and an institution filled with sinful human beings.
