Teaching Truth, Training Hearts

Summary: All Baptists should read this book!
Review: If you've ever been frustrated when told that Baptists have historically resisted creeds and confessions you will be encouraged by reading this book. Though the focus of the book strictly speaking is on the use of catechisms and not creeds and confessions, it's hard to separate one from the other.

After reading the introduction alone, you will see that Baptists have benefitted greatly from the use of catechisms. The collection of catechisms included in the book will prove helpful for an individual to nail down his own theology or pass it along to his children.

Perhaps a future book by Nettles will go into more depth concerning the differences between Baptist catechisms and those of other denominations.

May the Lord use this book to awaken 21st century Baptists to their catechetical roots!
