Parents put them to their children at home, Sunday school teachers to their classes, pastors to those about to join the church. Here they are gathered in one place, from the Heidelberg Catechism of 1563 to Bible quizzes written this year, each with the answer its source printed and many tied to the verse they ask about.

  • Confessed The catechisms of the churches, since 1563
