It is hard to overestimate the value of being catechized. Parents and teachers who invest the time, energy, and discipline to teach the questions and answers of this time-tested catechism will help stack up wood on the altars of young lives which will be ready to burn when God sends the fire of His Holy Spirit in the new birth. Through this beautifully illustrated edition of The Baptist Catechism, Paul Cox has provided a new generation of children a great tool that will incentivize them to learn the great doctrinal truths of God’s Word.

Since the Reformation, catechisms have been important means for Christian parents to use as they instruct their children. This illustrated edition of The Baptist Catechism is a welcome addition to the toolbox for believing families. It will draw children in and aid them in learning the great truths of the Word of God.

Thomas Scott in The Force of Truth, recalled the impact that a poem from Isaac Watt’s for children entitled “The All-seeing God,” had on him in the process of his coming to a saving faith in Christ. Having been an Anglican clergyman of rationalistic, virtually Socinian, persuasion, this poem remembered caught his conscience and led to ever deeper consideration of an orthodox doctrine and the claims of gospel truth. In that context he wrote, “Parents may from this inconsiderable circumstance be reminded, that it is of great importance to store their children’s minds with such useful matter, instead of suffering them to be furnished with such corrupting trash, as is commonly taught them.” This catechism with its engaging approach for children is perfectly fit to fill Scott’s salubrious prescription. Use it faithfully, convictionally, affectionately; It will not leave the minds of your children and may, by God’s grace become the means of a saving closure with gospel truth.

We have found this a handy resource for teaching biblical truths to young minds. Our children love the vibrant illustrations accompanying each question, and the verse references on every page provide ready-made Bible lessons. Parents and children alike will benefit from studying through this trusted catechism!

What a delightful presentation of the Baptist Catechism! Paul Cox’s charming illustrations and diagrams are kid-friendly and thought-provoking, even for adults, and are sure to aid in committing the catechism to memory. I enthusiastically recommend The Illustrated Baptist Catechism for Christian families or anyone committed to learning basic biblical doctrine.
