Resources on the Westminster Shorter Catechism

Feb 25th, 2012 | By | Category: Bible Study, Featured Article, Reformed Theology

Some 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.

The Catechism itself:
You can get the Catechism from so many websites it’s a little confusing that so many Christians haven’t heard of it, but that’s a rant for another time. The particular printed edition I use is one I made myself available here with the complete set of proof texts. A number of sites also have PDF editions which are easily downloadable.
For the technically inclined among us, you can get the Catechism as part of Westminster Seminary California’s Christian Creeds & Reformed Confessions app – available free of charge for both your iPad/iPhone or your Android device.

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:

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!
