Catalyst: "Mysteries of Faith" from Cowley Publications, by Mark McIntosh, 185 pages, paperback, $11.99
[Source: Cowley Publications] -- In this volume of The New Church's Teaching Series, Mark McIntosh introduces the great mysteries of the Christian faith: the doctrines of creation, revelation, incarnation, salvation, and eschatology, which are all held together by the doctrine of the Trinity. To explain these beliefs for Christians today, particularly the Trinity, McIntosh begins with the language of relationship and mutuality, of friendship and family ties.
The central theme of the book is relationship with Jesus and relationship with the neighbor, for such mutuality lies at the heart of every doctrine. McIntosh's starting point is the fact that everyone is a theologian, for all are drawn to approach the mysteries of faith with attention and love. By drawing on common experiences as members of a community of faith, particularly through the sacraments of baptism and Eucharist, McIntosh helps to explore these mysteries and to see how they might be lived in daily lives.
