Instruction in Catechism
Catechisms are summaries and/or expositions of Christian doctrine. The Creeds, The Lord’s Prayer, and the Ten Commandments served as the catechetical curriculum from the early church. Protestant Reformers introduced a Question/Answer format that has since become a standard method of Christian Education throughout the western church.
