In past centuries, the church used catechisms to teach fundamental Christian doctrines. Today, in a world of so many changing beliefs, we need to return to this communal habit of biblical learning through questions and answers.
The New City Catechismis a modern, gospel-centered resource that not onlysummarizes the most important Christian beliefsthrough fifty-two questions and answers, but alsohelps readers to be transformedby these doctrines.
Each question highlights an important passage of Scripture, a brief prayer, and a devotional written by contemporary pastors (such as John Piper, Timothy Keller, and Kevin DeYoung) and by historical figures (such as Augustine, Luther, and Calvin). Designed to be used in various contexts, it is a valuable resource to help us learn and meditate on the doctrines that remain at the heart of the Christian faith.
