For many of us, religious education is a gradual process and part of our life-long journey. Learning about God is the first in a series of religious education workbooks for young students. The aim of this text is to assist students in the development of their understanding of God as being present in the world through people, the world, the Church and the events of daily life. Learning about God provides a gentle introduction to key religious language and concepts in the context of religious education in the Catholic school and parish.

Nine key themes are explored in Learning about God:

• I am special
• We are all different
• Me and my Church family
• Me and God
• God sent Jesus to be with us
• God created our beautiful world
• The Church year celebrates God
• Special signs tell us about God
• God is everywhere!

The content in this series takes as its starting point the Catholic Catechism, is guided by the general principles from the ‘General Directory for Catechesis’ and shaped within the context of Australian RE as expressed through Diocesan Guidelines.

Gwen Tansey has published a range of religious education texts for primary students, including prayer journals and a mass book for young children.
