-- Sinclair B. Ferguson (Chancellor’s Professor of Systematic Theology, Reformed Theological Seminary, Jackson, Mississippi)This beautifully illustrated version updates the language without losing the meaning or simplicity of the original. As a result, it could be an extremely useful tool in defending the truth once delivered to the saints.
-- David Robertson (Well–known pastor and apologist)We have used the Westminster Shorter Catechism with our own children, and now with our grandchildren. This is by far the most visually attractive version we have ever encountered. We expect that many parents will want to get a copy as soon as they see it!
-- Tim Keller ((1950 – 2023) Redeemer City to City)I’m thankful for this new edition of these time–tested questions and answers, updated, simplified, and beautifully pictured. Here is a beautiful catechism, beautifully pictured, so that we might behold more clearly our beautiful God.
