This work examines aspects of a religious education program published by Paulist Press in the 1960s and 1970s, the Come to the Father series. This is the only study of this major catechetical series. The author examines the interpretation of the Bible in a confessional setting, and explores the history of the modern catechetical renewal in Canada and beyond. The author also critiques the way in which the Come to the Father series exploits the reader's experience in its interpretation of the Bible.
