The closing of every chapter includes further readings and topics for discussion:
- Supplementary Reading from Popes, Saints, and Church documents
- Vocabulary, Study Questions and Practical Exercises
- From the Catechism – pertinent reference going deeper into chapter topics

Church History Well Done
I bought this after hearing Fr Ripperger recommend learning about church history. I am a convert from Protestantism and I know little about the church’s background. I chose this version of learning about the subject because it had a workbook and I thought it would be good to answer questions about the material I had read. I’ve read through most of the beginning and the first chapter. I love how it’s broken down in small sections with lots of informative pictures and maps. I often only have 5-10 minutes to spare so this is very helpful. I usually answer the questions as I’m reading each section and have only come across a handful of questions that require deductions based on what I read. The majority of the time the questions are directly captured from the text. I wish I could spend more time on the book. It’s a very good resource.
Excellent resource!
We are using this as our sophomore religion course. We used the Didache for freshman religion as well, but I did not have the workbook to go along. Using the workbook and text is wonderful!! The tests/quizzes that are included (with the teachers’ manual) are representative of the things that are taught in the chapter. So far (5 weeks) this has been a great class.
