"Every generation faces the temptation to wander from Christian teaching, and so every generation must be awakened again to the thrill of orthodoxy. Returning to the church's creeds, Trevin Wax beckons us away from the broad yet ultimately boring road toward the straight and narrow path, where true adventures can be found"--

In The Good News We Almost Forgot, Kevin DeYoung explores the Heidelberg Catechism and writes 52 brief chapters on what it has shown him. The Heidelberg is largely a commentary on the Apostle's Creed, the Ten Commandments, and the Lord's Prayer and the book deals with man's guilt, God's grace, and believers' gratitude. The result is a clear-headed, warm-hearted exploration of the faith, simple enough for young believers and deep enough for mature...

The Catechism Explained by Fr. Francis Spirago, edited by Fr. Richard F. Clarke, S.J., is such a well-known Catholic classic that it hardly needs any introduction. The book was written for three specific uses—to serve the preacher as a sourcebook for sermons, the catechist as a thorough explanation of the catechism, and parents as a complete statement of the entire Faith, to assist them in instructing their children. Written to achieve these

¿Qué relación hay entre el mundo del primer siglo y nuestra sociedad actual tan sofisticada y hedonista? ¿Qué inuencia puede tener hoy sobre mi vida el relato bíblico del evangelis-ta Lucas, escrito hace 2.000 años? ¿Acaso el Espíritu Santo sigue actuando hoy con el mismo poder que obró en el tiempo de los primeros discípulos de Jesucristo? Estas y muchas otras preguntas que nos podemos hacer, obtienen respuesta en la obra que tienes en...

To Be a Christian, by J. I. Packer and a team of other Anglican leaders, was written to renew this oft-forgotten tradition for today's Christians. With over 360 questions and answers, plus Scripture references to support each teaching, this catechism covers the...

HASTA TIEMPOS RELATIVAMENTE RECIENTES, los eruditos han prestado poca atención a las enseñanzas de la iglesia antigua sobre temas tales como la propiedad, su origen, su propósito y su uso. Cuando por primera vez leí las epístolas de Ignacio de Antioquía, hace ya casi seis décadas, me fascinó lo que Ignacio decía acerca del sentido de la comunión y de la unidad de la iglesia. Me fascinó tanto que a partir de entonces he pasado buena parte...

This is the fourth edition of Archbishop Wynn Wagner's Liberal Catholic Catechism. The first edition was published when he was a rookie priest with Holy Water behind the ears. Now comes an update from Wynn as a lah-dee-dah my-incense-don't-even-stink archbishop. And yet it still works as an easy-to-read introduction to this little-known branch of the church catholic. The Liberal Catholic Church was started in England in the early part of the 20th...

In 1643 when the Long Parliament of England called the Westminster Assembly to produce the Westminster Confession, it also asked for a directory of "catechising". The Assembly asked Herbert Palmer to produce a draft of the Larger Catechism. Robert Baillie and other Scottish delegates found the work disappointing. In December 1643 a committee was formed to write the Catechism. In January 1647 the Assembly gave up writing one catechism and split it...

An illumined and trustworthy instructor of Christian Truth is hard to find in this age of doctrinal relativity and spiritual insensibility. Thus, when one encounters the wisdom, inspired knowledge of Scripture, and authority with which Elder Cleopa (1912-1998) speaks, it is not hard to distinguish his discerning words from the myriad of opinions bantered about by so many today. As an inheritor of two thousand years of Apostolic Tradition, trained...

For centuries, the Feast of Fools has been condemned and occasionally celebrated as a disorderly, even transgressive Christian festival, in which reveling clergy elected a burlesque Lord of Misrule, presided over the divine office wearing animal masks or women's clothes, sang obscene songs, swung censers that gave off foul-smelling smoke, played dice at the altar, and otherwise parodied the liturgy of the church. Afterward, they would take to the...

You know them. But do you understand them?
The Ten Commandments have become so familiar to us that we don't think about what they actually mean. They've been used by Christians throughout history as the basis for worship, confessions, prayer, even civil law.
Are these ancient words still relevant for us today? Their outward simplicity hides their inward complexity. Jesus himself sums up the entire law in a pair of commandments: Love God with all...
