The
Nation’s Leading Religion Series Just Got Better
The
FAITH AND LIFE religion series has been hailed
as a breakthrough in the field of religious education. It is a
comprehensive Catholic program that combines beautiful classical
and original artwork with a solid doctrinal and scriptural presentation
in an easy-to-read and stimulating format that is being praised
by teachers, students and parents everywhere.Keeping
in mind the popularity of the original edition of the Faith and
Life textbooks, Ignatius Press has made only minor alterations
to the revised student texts. The majority of the revisions within
the student texts appear in the question and answer segments of
the book. Each question and answer set is now related directly
to the Catechism of the Catholic Church (Second Edition) and tied
specifically to the material covered in each chapter. Further,
the questions and answers are now more age appropriate to each
grade level.
Other
changes in the new edition of the student texts include:
- the
setting of key terms in boldface to allow students and teachers easy
access to important terminology within the text
- grammatical
refinements in some portions of the texts
- more
direct quotations from Holy Scripture (from the Ignatius Revised Standard
Version)
While
much of the text, including the use of traditional language and themes,
remains unchanged, it is hoped that the revised edition will be easier
to use for both students and teachers. The great works of art that appear
in the original edition are maintained in the revised edition.

Revised
and updated Teacher's Manuals
The
new teacher’s manuals feature daily lesson plans in a wrap-around
format. In a large (9"x12") page layout, the new manuals
facilitate speedy references and are perfectly coordinated with the
textbooks, outlining an entire school year of plans for lessons, games,
songs, and activities.
Also
included are expanded appendices with tests and quizzes for each chapter.
Supplementing the new teacher’s manuals (and providing much
of the material necessary for the lesson plans) are the expanded activity
books, featuring enjoyable and creative activities for children at
every grade level.
