Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These book series are the famous self-study books of Westminster Shorter Catechism in South Korea. If you want an English version of these series, you can find 'What is the chief end of you?' in Amazon.com. Many of the problems modern day churches have brought on themselves are caused by the fact that they don't have a universal curriculum from which they can nurture the converts and raise their children. Without a universal curriculum that most churches gladly agree on, some have chosen to focus on knowledge while others focus on life application. Needless to say, without a universal curriculum either the pastor's leadership style or theological background will come to dictate the church education and the congregation growth. It is a long-standing ancient problem. Churches in the past created numerous catechisms, their official curriculum, and used them to educate their parishioners. For example, in the 16th century, Elector Frederic III, sovereign of the Electoral Palatinate, commissioned the composition of a new catechism (which came to be known as the Heidelberg Catechism) to promote religious unity in his territory. Then he regulated for parents to teach their children, for teachers their students, and for pastors and catechizers their parishioners for religious unity. Another well-known catechism, Westminster Shorter Catechism, was created in the 17th century. Back then England was in the middle of the English Reformation. And it was none other than the prosecutions Presbyterians experienced under the reign of King James I and Charles I that made them acknowledge the need of a common confession of faith (a byproduct of catechisms), by which they expected to clarify from the right theology of the Reformation matters of church governance and matters of life. With such a purpose, they summoned the saints to Westminster Abby in July of 1643, and their meetings, over a period of six years, produced the confession of faith along with Larger and Shorter Catechisms. The Larger Catechism, made of 196 sets of questions and answers, was designed primarily for adults and prospective ministers while the Shorter Catechism, made of 107 sets, was for the new converts and children in church. And this book is about the latter, the Westminster Shorter Catechism. Then what benefits can we expect from this old-fashioned material? (1) Catechism based church education will bring a more balanced and systematic education to your church, for catechism itself maintains a great balance between theology and life application on the chief end of man (to glorify God and enjoy Him forever). And for this reason, (2) catechism based teaching is more likely to be followed in the practical life of the learners. When our life is examined under its chief end and its application is provided in detail, learners will be more likely to attempt to apply what they have learned in the catechism. (3) Lastly, it will enable the learners to effectively defend their faith and successfully avoid many heresies, for the essence of Christian faith is so clearly listed and elaborated in the catechism. From the above, believers will be made able to initiate and maintain a beautiful life as God's children, not as a duty but out of a willing heart.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the Westminster Larger Catechism in its Original Version along with a new Korean translation. Most of existing Korean translations of this important part of the Westminster Standards were found not accurate in many ways. This new translation is the authors personal effort to accurately convey the original intent of the Larger Catechism into modern day Korean. I hope this work will benefit Korean Christians who want to study this full, balanced, edifying summary of the Christian Faith as the Larger Catechism is a useful and worthy aid to any believer as he grows in the knowledge of God's truth. Even though the translator is not a formally trained theologian or pastor, he has been studying reformed theology through classic and contemporary literatures and radio and on-line teaching ministries. Living and working in English speaking environment and serving the church in a bi-lingual capacity in Korean American churches last forty years equipped the author uniquely qualified to tackle this translation endeavor. ? ?? ?????? ?????? ??? ??????. ?????? ??????? ?????? ????? ?? ?? ???? ???? ? ??? ??????? ?? ????? ??????? ?? ????? ?? ?? ??? ?? ?? ?????. ??? ??? ?? ?? 370? ?? ??? ???? ??? ??? ??? ? ??? ??? ??? ????? ???? ?? ??? ?????? ?? ?? ? ?? ??? ??????. ??? ???? ???? ???? ?? ????? ????? ??? ??? ???, ??? ??? ??? ????? ????? ??? ?? ???? ?????? ????? ?????? ???? ???? ???? ?? 2???? ??? ??? ?????? ?????? ??? ??? ??? ?? ??? ????? ??? ???? ??? ?????? ??? ???? ?????. ? ?? ?? ????? ?????? ??? ????? ??? ??? ? ?? ??? ?????. ??? ??? ???? ??? ????? ???? ?? ??? ???? ????? ???? ?? ??? ??? ??????.

Download or read book Engraved Upon the Heart written by Hwarang Moon and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2015-07-17 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does liturgy impact the formation of faith? The Protestant Church has traditionally emphasized human reason and doctrinal knowledge. But there is another method with great formative power--participation in liturgy. Human beings gain important knowledge not only through traditional, cognitively focused learning, but also through practice and participation. And because knowledge is wholistic, an inability to express an idea in language does not necessarily signify an absence of knowledge. This book shows how liturgy transmits knowledge that transcends human reason. We repeat the liturgy in weekly public worship, and its contents are inscribed on our minds and bodies. Contrary to common belief, this is also true for children and cognitively challenged individuals. They may be unable to verbally express the contents of their faith in a way that satisfies "normal" adult expectations, but these two groups of people are capable of rich religious experiences. This book explores how welcoming them into experience and practice of worship and sacrament can benefit children, cognitively challenged church members, their families, and the church community as a whole, and makes us all a more inclusive community in Christ.

Download or read book The Westminster Larger Catechism written by Johannes Geerhardus Vos and published by P & R Publishing. This book was released on 2002 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of the three documents that comprise the Westminster Standards, the Larger Catechism has been the most neglected, even by conservative Presbyterians who profess to embrace these Standards. J. G. Vos wrote a series of studies of the Larger Catechism that first appeared in Blue Banner Faith and Life (1946-49) and has never circulated widely. G. I. Williamson has edited Vos's commentary, and P&R is publishing it in book form for the first time. Because the Larger Catechism supplements the Shorter Catechism on such topics as the church and the means of grace, Presbyterians dare not ignore it. This edition of J. G. Vos's commentary will encourage a recommitment to the Larger Catechism.
