| Although literary critics have often roundly disparaged his best-selling
fiction, few religious scholars have been able to distill the often-arcane mysteries of
Catholicism with the passion and the clarity of Father Greeley. A sociologist by training,
he has the ability of communicating complex theological ideas in digestible lay prose.
Classifying the fundamental questions of Christian faith into comprehensible categories,
he addresses the mysteries of God, Jesus, Mary, the spirit, the cross, salvation, grace,
the Eucharist, the Church, baptism, heaven, and the Last Judgment. Grounding these
spiritual concepts and symbols firmly in the story of the human experience, Greeley is
able to fashion a readily accessible "catechism for our times." This deceptively
simple catechesis is actually an invaluable primer of Catholic beliefs and traditions that
will intrigue both the faithful and the merely curious. Margaret Flanagan
