The theme of this book is that the Catechism of the Catholic Church, perhaps the most important work on catechesis since the Apostolic Age, offers not only a new, definitive account for our times of the full teaching of the Catholic faith, but also that it is a superbly crafted work from which to learn and to teach the faith. This book reveals the pedagogy embedded in the Catechism, showing every teacher, parent, catechist or student how to discover the key principles that enable one to learn from, and teach from, the Catechism.
The Compendium of the Catechism of the Catholic Church speaks of the "wisdom of the presentation" of the Catechism and of "the depth of its spirituality". These points have rarely been explained in any sustained way and have never before been systematically treated. The unique point about this book is that it focuses on these points, rather than a simple explanation of the content of the Catechism. This book offers a pedagogical approach to the Catechism for handing on the faith of the Catholic Church in any setting, whether home, school and parish. It offers perennially valid teaching points drawn from a perennial text, and an explanation of the 'pedagogy of God' which underpins all authentic teaching methods in the Church. In this way, the book offers a twelve step 'path to recovery' out of unhealthy catechetical addictions and obsessions which have bedeviled the catechetical world.
It is unique in its origin, emerging from a 'catechetical friendship', encouraged by Cardinal Schönborn, between three institutions working in an authentic Catholic catechetical tradition. The three authors display a deep trust and love for the words of the Catechism of the Catholic Church – words that hold a rich heritage and can be pondered lovingly and searchingly, since they are for our good, for everyone's good.

Review\n"Petroc Willey and Scott Sollom, in Speaking the Truth in Love: The Catechism and the New Evangelization, have edited a marvelous book of essays that will be of enormous help to all who evangelize, teach catechetics, or proclaim the word, either within a parish or academic setting." 
Thomas G. Weinandy, OFM, Cap., Former member of the Vatican's International Theological Commission 
"The Catechism of the Catholic Church is a tremendous resource whose depth and utility has not been plumbed sufficiently. This book does it. It shows how the Catechism is an indispensable resource for both catechetics and evangelization, not to mention a touchstone of stability in a time of confusion. Highly recommended." 
Ralph Martin, Director of Graduate Theology Programs in the New Evangelization, Sacred Heart Major Seminary, Archdiocese of Detroit 
"This book shows us not only how important the Catechism has been, but even more what it still has to offer, what is only just beginning to be tapped into. The work highlights in particular the spiritual depth and the pedagogical resources in the Catechism, helping us to see how our catechetical leaders in parishes and schools can mine it for assistance in how to transmit the Faith." 
Ann Lankford, Director of the Office for Catechesis and Evangelization, Diocese of La Crosse, WI 
"Because the Catechism is the most current, authoritative articulation of Sacred Tradition, and because as Catholics we know that both Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition together comprise the one Word of God, the Catechism is an indispensable resource for our times; it helps put us in touch not only with the teaching of Christ, but also with Jesus Himself. Speaking the Truth in Love is a gift for all who work to make catechesis the truly privileged moment in a lifelong process of evangelization that St. John Paul the Great challenges us to make it—by God's grace and mercy." 
—Ken Ogorek, Author, Retreat Facilitator, Leadership Consultant, Director of Catechesis, Archdiocese of Indianapolis --Endorsements\nIt is now just over twenty-five years since the publication of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. It is also more than thirty-five years since St. John Paul II called for a new evangelization to be characterized by a new ardor, a new expression, and new methods. The conviction common to the contributors in this volume is that the Catechism flows from just such an ardor. 
Speaking the Truth in Love draws together a group of Catholic scholars and field practitioners to focus on the capacity of the Catechism to be a powerful point for the renewal of Christian catechesis, education, and culture through its reclamation of the Christian heritage, its explanatory power, and its compelling articulation of a civilization characterized by faith, hope, and love. A special focus of the book is how the Catechism provides a creative reference point for pedagogical renewal in the Church. 
"Since the publication of the Catechism of the Catholic Church in 1992, catechists and pastors of souls have discovered how it has served as a great instrument of the New Evangelization. We have awaited this volume as a mature reflection on its vital place in the hope expressed by St. John Paul II for a springtime of New Evangelization. In these pages you will find testimony on how, through the Catechism, this springtime is already taking shape." 
Most Rev. Mark Davies, Bishop of Shrewsbury, Province of Birmingham, England
