"The Scriptures Opened" gives explanations of several scripture-texts. "Deuteronomy" is an ongoing explanation of one Bible-book. I think that it is now time to start a systematic explanation of the Christian teachings. That is not done in "The Scriptures Opened" and "Deuteronomy", for there is explained what the text says. A systematic explanation of Christian teachings works quite otherwise. This takes here and there Bible-texts, compares them, and forms of them a systematic unity of Biblical teachings. As a form of education is chosen the form of questions and answers. The questions are taken from two standard catechisms in the Christian Church. These are "The Shorter Catechism" and "A Compendium of the Christian Religion". You can get the electronic versions of these books by sending the following commands to chr-exp-request@nic.surfnet.nl get shorter get compchrs But for now, I send you these two books, so you need not to ask for it. If you have questions, send them to the list or directly to me. When you send your question to the list, I also will answer to the list. Sending directly to me gives you a personal answer. Feel free to discuss the Christian teachings on the list, because that favours all of us. May God give you His grace, in order that His Word may bring forth fruit in your life.
