Baptist Catechisms

Baptist Catechisms

Catechisms have been used for centuries by Christians to instruct believers in the basics of the Christian faith. Catechisms are most often used to instruct new converts and as a guide for parents to instruct their children in the Christian faith. Many catechisms are available, most adapted from the Westminster Catechism.

John Piper writes concerning the the history of this catechism.
"This is a slightly revised version of 'The Baptist Catechism' first put forth by Baptists in 1689 in Great Britain. It was adopted by the Philadelphia Baptist Association in 1742. It is patterned on the well-known reformed Westminster Catechism. The few comments in the earlier questions are meant to help parents make things plain to their children.
