The publication of the Catechism of the Catholic Church has generated new interest in catechisms. Berard Marthaler's The Catechism Yesterday and Today presents it as the latest version in a genre of works that, over time, have served the cause of religious instruction, Church reform, safeguarding orthodoxy, inculturation, apologetics, and, even, political agendas. In tracing the evolution of the catechismgenre, The Catechism Yesterday and Today presents a survey of Catholic history that recalls individuals and incidents, some little known, some forgotten, that shaped the Church's catechetical ministry. It is a study of faith and culture addressed to the general reader as well as to historians, religious educators, and theologians. Marthaler begins with a look at the development of this tool for lay instruction and its evolution from the Council of Trent through the CounterReformation. The effects of world mission on catechism development and a special look at early English and Irish Catechisms precede an exploration of the American Baltimore catechism. The work concludes with a look at the Dutch catechism that forged the way for the Catechism of the Catholic Church before finishing with a discussion of that catechism as it now appears in English.
