The book's title says it all. We need to get back to the business of "building believers", not simply through religious experiences (though certainly not devoid of them), but through the careful, planned out catechesis of them from early childhood on.The book argues for a return to this method of Spiritual Formation and training, and I'm convinced that some form of it needs to be happening in every local congregation. There are numerous reasons fighting against its prioritization, but the main one is evangelization, or "church growth", at "real growth's" expense. You can grow both ways; a focus on one does not negate the other. Another issue is simply ignorance of this method. Therefore, Packer and Parrett spend ample time discussing its historical roots, and proven success, before really turning to the "how to" section.The meat of the book in setting forth a vision of Catechesis for a local church, is:Chapter 5 "The Gospel as First Importance"Chapter 6 "Three Facets of the Faith"Chapter 9 "Moving In and Moving On"These chapters help frame a basic Catechesis program, one which sets forth the Gospel message/kerygma as primary, then uses the Lord's proclamation in John 14:6, "I am The Way, The Truth, and The Life" as a paradigm for long-term Catechetical training. Chapter 9 sets it forth as:1. Protocatechesis: First Glimpses of the Gospel2. Catechesis Proper: Formal Grounding in the Gospel3. Ongoing Catechesis: Further Growth in the GospelThis book will be difficult for "low church" traditions (Baptists, Bible churches, Charismatics, Pentecostals, etc.) to receive, given that much of the time, anything associated with "high church" traditions (Roman Catholics, Anglicans, etc.) can be confused as "bad". This couldn't be further from the truth. Everyone is "doing catechesis", but the question is, "is it good, helpful, and most importantly, biblical/historical"? I think Packer and Parrett make their case that to live out a life-long Christian Faith, we need a Catechesis program that can prepare us as such.This book hits it out of the park, and is food for the long journey of Christian discipleship and growth. Highly recommended to all Sunday School teachers, Discipleship/Spiritual Formation Leaders, and Youth/Childrens Pastors.

I really enjoyed reading this. This is such an important message for a Biblically illiterate generation of Christians. The recent Renaissance in Christian apologetics has been great for reminding Christians of the need to know *why* they believe what they believe, but that is really predicated on actually knowing *what* you believe in the first place. That's where this book's call to catechesis comes in. It is a reminder to look back to traditions we've let slip away, to reacquaint ourselves with an old friend of the church for most of its history: the catechism. In evangelical circles, we tend to think of the catechism as a Catholic device, forgetting that Luther and other Protestants had catechisms as well. But more importantly, the early church, before there was Catholic and Protestant, had formal teaching of new inquirers and members to pass on faithfully what they had received. We have fallen far from that level of diligence, but may Packer's and Parrett's call to renewed emphasis on teaching sound doctrine bring us back closer to God. Parrett's look at the importance of hymnody is also a welcome relief from the emotionally-driven, worldly "worship songs" being sung in a lot of churches now. Not that those are all bad, or that the style is wrong or anything like that. But Parrett reminds us that we are always singing theology, the only question is whether it's good accurate theology or a distorted view of God made in man's image instead of the other way around. Overall, I highly recommend the book.

This book is an answer to our prayers for our brothers and sisters in the evangelical churches. I watch a lot of 'religious' programming on tv and the need for catechesis is overwhelming.Packer and Parrett have laid out a step by step road map on how to catechise the preachers and teachers who can then catechise the faithful. We Christians tend to think that we are all on the same page but we're not. This book not only points to the right page but lays out how to get there.This is not the quickest read you'll ever enjoy but it's worth the work.

This book will help you consider the chatechesis of the church. How can we best communicate who we are and what we believe.

good book

very sound thesis

I read this book because I heard the authors interviewed in an episode of the White Horse Inn radio program (WHI-986, Feb. 28, 2010). I thought their thesis - that the church is strongest when it places an emphasis on catechesis - was intriguing. The book did not disappoint. According to the historical evidence presented in the book, it does appear that the church has been strongest when its catechetical efforts have also been strong. And as the emphasis on catechesis wanes, so does the overall strength of the church.Considering the lack of doctrinal depth and biblical knowledge of many in the Protestant churches I have been associated with, I think this is a message that Protestants need to both hear and apply in their individual congregations.

Very interesting read.
