Description

Beginning in New
Testament times, there is a time-honoured tradition of forming new Christians
in the essentials of faith: catechesis. This volume aims to uncover the
riches of this tradition for all who teach and preach the faith today, and
well as animate it: St Augustine wrote that joy should be the prime
characteristic of those who teach the faith.

Six outstanding theologians and historians open up the tradition of
catechesis for today’s church:

• Alister McGrath explores the role of the creeds in catechesis;
• Susan Gillingham, Professor of the Hebrew Bible, looks at the Psalms in
Christian formation;
• Jennifer Strawbridge, Associate Professor of New Testament, reflects on
catechesis in the early church;
• Carole Harrison, Lady Margaret Professor of Divinity, offers lessons from
the patristic period;
• Sarah Foot, Regius Professor of Ecclesiastical History, draws lessons
from the Anglo Saxon missions to Europe;
• Simon Jones, Chaplain of Merton College and member of the Liturgical
Commission, links formation and liturgy;
• Steven Croft shows how this great tradition can be revitalised today.
