Catholicism

A Journey to the Heart of the Faith

By: Robert Barron

Narrated by: Robert Barron

What is Catholicism? A two-thousand-year-old living tradition? A worldview? A way of life? A relationship? A mystery? In Catholicism, Bishop Robert Barron examines all these questions and more, seeking to capture the body, heart, and mind of the Catholic faith.

Starting from the essential foundation of Jesus Christ’s Incarnation, life, and teaching, Bishop Barron moves through the defining elements of Catholicism—from sacraments, worship, and prayer, to Mary, the Apostles, and saints, to grace, salvation, heaven, and hell—using his distinct and dynamic grasp of art, literature, architecture, personal stories, Scripture, theology, philosophy, and history to present the Church to the world.

Paired with his documentary film series of the same title, Catholicism is an intimate journey capturing “the Catholic thing” in all its depth and beauty. Eclectic, unique, and inspiring, Bishop Barron brings the faith to life for a new generation in a style that is faithful to timeless truths while simultaneously speaking in the language of contemporary life.

The audio began skipping through an entire chapter.

The audio kept skipping through what seemed to be the entire Chapter 7. I tried replaying and scrubbing back, but it continued to jump ahead, making the chapter impossible to follow. It felt like a file issue rather than something on my end, and it definitely broke the flow of the book.

Very Interesting

The Bishop does a fantastic job, listening is,has been very informative.Listen over many times and be ready to learn.

Beautifully written.

A must for every Christian seeking… Christ is King and Bishop Barron eloquently offers this eternal truth.
