概要

At the end of the class on cultural apologetics I teach at Beeson Divinity School, I assign a group exercise. The students need to compose 10 questions and answers from a modern-day catechism. Historically catechisms have emerged during times of cultural transition and confrontation—such as our own, in the aftermath of Christendom and the Enlightenment, awaiting whatever develops in post-liberalism.So catechisms are not merely a relic of our past but a vital resource for the present that prepares us for the future. I’m delighted with how The New City Catechism, especially our devotional, still serves readers. And I’m delighted by a new volume, The Gospel Way Catechism: 50 Truths that Take on the World, published by Harvest House and written by my friends Trevin Wax and Thomas West.Tim Keller said, “We need a counter-catechism that explains, refutes, and re-narrates the world’s catechisms to Christians.” And what’s what Trevin and Thomas have done in The Gospel Way Catechism. Trevin is vice president of research and resource development at the North American Mission Board. Thomas is the pastor of Nashville First Baptist Church.In This Episode00:00 – What’s wrong with the world: deeper than ignorance or injustice00:34 – Collin’s “modern catechism” assignment and why catechisms return in transitions01:03 – Introducing The Gospel Way Catechism and Keller’s “counter catechism” vision01:36 – Welcoming Trevin Wax and Thomas West01:54 – “Can Baptists write a catechism?” and Baptist catechesis history02:57 – Influential catechisms: Keach, Spurgeon, Heidelberg, Luther, Calvin, Westminster03:23 – Most controversial truths today: sexuality and deeper “me-first” narratives04:51 – “What has gone wrong?”: ignorance, injustice, expressive individualism07:14 – Moving beyond whack-a-mole to the Bible’s deeper diagnosis09:37 – Western self-centeredness and sin as being “curved in on ourselves”12:24 – Writing process and Keller’s influence: every catechism is counter-catechesis13:48 – Origin story at The Kilns (C.
