Grounded in the Gospel
Author: J. I. Packer
Publisher: Baker Books
ISBN: 1441207597
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
Historically, the church's ministry of grounding new believers in the essentials of the faith has been known as catechesis--systematic instruction in faith foundations, including what we believe, how we pray and worship, and how we conduct our lives. For most evangelicals today, however, this very idea is an alien concept. Packer and Parrett, concerned for the state of the church, seek to inspire a much needed evangelical course correction. This new book makes the case for a recovery of significant catechesis as a nonnegotiable practice of churches, showing the practice to be complementary to, and of no less value than, Bible study, expository preaching, and other formational ministries, and urging evangelical churches to find room for this biblical ministry for the sake of their spiritual health and vitality.

The Good News We Almost Forgot
Author: Kevin L. DeYoung
Publisher: Moody Publishers
ISBN: 1575675501
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 278
Book Description
If there is "nothing new under the sun," perhaps the main task now facing the Western church is not to reinvent or be relevant, but to remember. The truth of the gospel is still contained within vintage faith statements. Within creeds and catechisms we can have our faith strengthened, our knowledge broadened, and our love for Jesus deepened. 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 deals with man's guilt, God's grace, and believers' gratitude. This book is a clear-headed, warm-hearted exploration of the faith, simple enough for young believers and deep enough for mature believers. DeYoung writes, "The gospel summarized in the Heidelberg Catechism is glorious, its Christ gracious, its comfort rich, its Spirit strong, its God Sovereign, and its truth timeless." Come and see how your soul can be warmed by the elegantly and logically stated doctrine that matters most: We are great sinners and Christ is a greater Savior!

The Christian Faith
Author: Eric M. Riesen
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781892921413
Category :
Languages : en
Pages :
Book Description
Pastor Riesen draws upon many years of pastoral experience. The stories of his encounters with interesting people and events are always appropriate to the point he is making. His illustrations are from real life. He is a scholarly pastor , and his catechism manifests that quality. Pastor Riesen holds to orthodox Christian teaching and conveys it to the inquirer. This is solid Christian food for those curious about the Christian faith. He writes from the "evangelical catholic" strand of Lutheran thought and practice. By that I mean that he sees Lutheranism as a reform movement within Western Christianity. He embraces the "catholic" heritage of Lutheranism and teaches about it in this catechism. He appreciates the long sweep of Christian history, its liturgy, its sacramental life, its aesthetic sensibility, and its high view of biblical authority. It will be enormously useful to all pastors and congregations who want to teach inquirers the "straight stuff."
