Sender: Christian explanation of the Scriptures to Israel
From: Teus Benschop
Subject: Catechism, 1
Dear Subscriber,
At the moment are running at this list two sorts of explanation. "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.
Teus Benschop
