You've Got Questions? He's Got Answers What is catechism?
The word comes from the Greek katecheo, which is used in Galatians 6:6 where Paul notes that he who is taught, or catechized, should share with him who is teaching, or catechizing. Catechizing is most often teaching by the question and answer method. Jesus frequently taught believers and skeptics alike by posing and taking questions. He was once asked “Lord, we don't know where you are going, so how can we know the way?” Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.” In that brief question and answer is the meaning of catechism: a question is posed, and a clear concise answer gives revelation of God.
The catechism curriculum of Bethesda Christian Church is based on this principle
