Summary of Gerald O'Collins's Catholicism

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The Catholic Church was founded in Jerusalem after the resurrection of Jesus, and it has existed as an institution ever since. But can we identify, from the beginning, some kind of institution whose history could be written.

#2 The first decades of Christian history featured the tension between two constituencies: the Jerusalem Church, which had a vision of a Torah-observant community, and the non-Torah-focused vision of Paul and others.

#3 The followers of Jesus were called Christians in the 60s. They had been baptized in the name of Jesus, received the Holy Spirit, and celebrated the Eucharist. They called on God as Abba and used not only the psalms but also the Lord’s Prayer and other such prayers.

#4 Christianity was a missionary religion from its inception. The Acts of the Apostles and Paul’s letters mention missionaries who spread the good news about Jesus as Savior of the world: Barnabas, Epaphroditus, Timothy, Titus, and Prisca and Aquila.
