Tracing the theological and philosophical influences of Groome and Shussler-Fiorenza, Keane shows how both were led astray to a basic misunderstanding of Church doctrine. He clearly demonstrates the flaws in Shussler-Fiorenza's methodology and the dubious theological under pinnings of Groome's pedagogical method. He defends the truth and provides a needed antidote to those in danger of intellectual, religious and moral deception.
