The Shorter Catechism

The Shorter Catechism is a Christian teaching tool developed in the 17th century, primarily by the Westminster Assembly. Designed to educate individuals, particularly children, it presents core beliefs of Christianity in a question-and-answer format. It covers essential topics such as the nature of God, the purpose of human life, the role of Jesus Christ, and the principles of moral living. Its goal is to impart a clear understanding of faith and doctrine, facilitating deeper reflection and understanding of Christian teachings. It remains a key resource for many denominations today.
