First issued in 1971  most recent update published in 1997 Since initial publication, a great movement in catechesis has arisen in the Church As a Church document, it is hard to read and comprehend. An overview book by Huebsch (The General Directory for Catechesis (In Plain English)) is recommended The Directory s aim is to: (1) Place catechetical work in the context of evangelization and (2) treat content as it is found in Catechism of the Catholic Church Document is broken into five parts with an introduction that proposes guidelines for understanding human and Church conditions: I. Roots catechetical work on Revelation and places it in the context of evangelization II. Examines Catechism of the Catholic Church III. Discusses how we teach faith IV. Looks at the various groups being catechized V.
