The New City Catechism

A catechism is a summary of truths presented in question and answer format. "All children and adults observe and interact with the world through their personal worldview." "To catechize children is to build their worldview, to teach them from Scripture about the world, and to inform their interactions with those they will live, play, learn, and work alongside." Thus, The New City Catechism's goal is "summarizing God's truths into digestible questions and answers so that as our children experience life and the world around them, they are able to understand" God, man, key truths about each, and how they should live as a result. 

This particular catechsim is 52 questions and answers separated into three categories:

- God, Creation & Fall, Law

- Christ, Redemption, Grace

- Spirit, Restoration, Growing in Grace

I love summaries, and this is no exception; I hope to work through it with the family in the coming weeks. Like the Westminster Larger and Shorter Catechisms, this contains valuable truths distilled into a succinct and potent form. The format is done well, too. Recommended.
