Resources on the Westminster Shorter Catechism
Feb 25th, 2012 | By Douglas K. Adu-Boahen | Category: Bible Study, Featured Article, Reformed TheologySome friends of mine are working through the Westminster Shorter Catechism as part of their Young People’s Fellowship at church and since I’ll be going along (after all, it’s 25 mins from my house), I’ve decided to get studied up for each week’s sessions.
I recently purchased an Android tablet (that’s the subject of another blog post aside to say that I am now sold on using this thing in teaching and study) and have been loading up on resources. Even if you don’t own an iPad or Android tablet, I hope these will be of some benefits
MP3s:
You can get an MP3 recording of the entire Catechism courtesy of Reformed Presbyterian Theological Seminary.
You can also get Pastor Malcolm Watts of Emmanuel Church, Salisbury teaching through the Catechism in quite a lot of detail.
Websites:
There are a number of websites which are pretty good for working through the Catechism. Many thanks to Peter Gordon on Twitter who recommended the Westminster Shorter Catechism Projectfrom the Bible Presbyterian Church which features the entire Catechism as well as links to online books expounding the various themes of the Catechism.

There’s also WestminsterShorterCatechism.net which features the Catechism as well as links to other online resources.
eBooks
I’m still figuring the world of eBooks out, but many thanks to Pastor Nicholas Batzig, pastor at New Covenant Presbyterian Church and blogger at Feeding on Christ, for recommending Ashbel Green’s Lectures on the Catechism in two volumes available here and here.
Books
Technology or no technology, nothing will ever beat an old-fashioned book. Some of my favourite Catechism resources are in classic book form such as:
- A Body of Divinity by Thomas Watson – Classic Puritan preaching from Thomas Watson with two follow-up volumes.
- The Lord’s Prayer by Thomas Watson
- The Ten Commandments by Thomas Watson
- The Westminster Shorter Catechism for Study Classes by G.I. Williamson – Dr Williamson has a knack for simplifying big ideas and he does masterfully well

And that’s the run-down right now. If you know of any other resources, feel free to leave a comment and we’ll add it up!
