Catechesis of the Good Shepherd: Essential Realities
This
collection of essays edited Tina Lillig celebrates 50 years of the Catechesis
of the Good Shepherd.
More
than a history of the catechesis, it is an expression of gratitude for this
approach to listening to God with children begun by Hebrew Scripture scholar
Sofia Cavalletti and Montessorian Gianna Gobbi.
Several
of the contributors have been involved with the work from the beginning, others
are significant to its current growth. Each expresses joy and appreciation for
the work of the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd and the community it engenders.
Catechesis
of the Good Shepherd.
The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is an approach to the
religious formation of children. It is rooted in the Bible, the liturgy of the
church, and the educational principles of Maria Montessori. Children gather in
an "atrium," a room prepared for them, which contains simple yet
beautiful materials that they use.
Specifications: Paperback / 6" x 9" / 128 pages.
