The Baptist Shorter
Catechism The use of catechisms among Reformed Christians dates back to the
Reformation itself. In our day the need for catechetical instruction
has not been outgrown. In fact, if anything, it is greater now than
at many times in the past. Our children need to have the solid truths
of God etched upon their minds as they enter the world beyond our front door. We must do all we can to guard them against the pressures of a
godless society and to guide them through the fog of ignorance and folly
of the undiscerning “Christianity” of our day. This catechism
incorporates a Baptist perspective into the proven standard of “The
Westminister Shorter Catechism” and seeks to refine its use of
covenantal terms into more accurate biblical terminology.
