Solid, thoughtful commentary on the foundation of our faith. Probably geared toward early teen through adult. Nothing inappropriate for the younger crowd but the philosophy of the book may be hard to follow for younger kids maybe even more so than the last book. Every beginning confirmation student should read this.
My ten year old step son is not catholic but is interested in our faith. He loves comics, so I got this and the other Brendan and Erc for him. He actually put down the iphone to read them straight through in two evenings. I'm impressed.
This is an intense book! Not as entertaining as the first volume but practically exploding with information. It is a lot to take in and not a book to be read all at once. I ended up reading a chapter, of this graphic novel, at a time to fully process all the information. Brendan has decided to become a Catholic and is taking his RCIA classes from the Father while he and Erc travel around space on their job. Sometimes they meet the Father in person, other times it's over the screen. Erc is the sceptic, he is a lapsed believer and sceptical of everything that his taught. This volume covers the entire Bible from creation to Judgement Day with the focus being on the prophecies of the coming of the Messiah and then how and why Jesus was that Messiah. How he brought salvation and redemption to mankind. The conversation goes through a teaching mode with Father then Erc being the sceptic asking the usual questions and bringing up the usual answers non-Christians (esp. atheists) bring to the table. Father refutes them all with reason, logic or turning the question back to Erc. Brendan is a questioning mind, as is encouraged of the Catholic student, and sometimes he finds Eric's comments/questions reasonable and discusses them with Father in a more seeking-the-answers manner. As an up-and-coming convert, Brendan also has his own intelligent questions. Father's teaching and answers are always true to scripture and the magisterium. Very well researched book on the mystery of God's plan for our salvation written by a contemplative monk. The book makes excellent reading for recent converts, those participating in RCIA and older teens. Even long-time Catholics will find it useful for logical answers to questions or confrontations we are often subjected to. It most certainly is recommended for use in a teaching environment.
