Catechism of the Coptic Orthodox Church - Volume 1 Book 1: Introduction to the Coptic Catechism (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798245589121)

Catechism of the Coptic Orthodox Church

Why does faith matter?

How does Christian belief shape daily life, heal the heart, guide relationships, and prepare the human person for eternity?

The Catechism of the Coptic Orthodox Church is a unified spiritual and theological journey that invites every reader - lifelong believer, seeker, student, or servant - to encounter the living faith of the early Church as a transforming way of life in Christ.

Rooted in Holy Scripture, illuminated by the writings of the Church Fathers, and expressed through pastoral wisdom, this Catechism does not merely explain doctrines; it forms the mind, nourishes the soul, and calls the whole person into communion with God. Faith here is not abstract theory, but lived truth, received, practised, celebrated, and hoped for.

Each volume stands on its own, yet together the series offers a coherent and deeply integrated vision of Orthodox Christian faith.

This volume opens the Catechism by addressing the most essential questions of faith: Who is God? Why were we created? What does it mean to believe?

Through a thoughtful question-and-answer format, Book One lays the spiritual foundation for the entire series. It invites readers to move beyond inherited ideas or assumptions and to discover faith as a living relationship with God.

Rather than offering abstract arguments, this book nurtures trust, meaning, and spiritual awareness, helping readers see faith as the starting point of a renewed life in Christ.

This volume introduces the journey.

The rest of the series unfolds how that faith is lived, celebrated, strengthened, and fulfilled.
