This book provides a very basic and simple explanation of the Heidelberg Catechism. As a teacher's manual, it focuses on new converts who know almost nothing of the Christian faith.

A church that is alive invests in its youth, taking its children along toward a bright future with Christ and caring for them through family, school, and catechesis. Catechesis is pastoral care where the doctrine of the church is taught and learned, helping boys and girls to live with God, ask questions, and understand the life of the church. It is a meeting of the generations and a transfer of faith, where children are guided on the way of the covenant so that the future church may know and follow the living Christ.

This article gives thought to how to give catechism instruction to the disabled. It points to the responsibility of the consistory for the instruction of the youth, and then provides several important points about the instruction.
