Ever feel like you don’t know the basics of the Christian faith? Have you struggled to identify some the foundational doctrines that make Christianity unique?

You may have seen weekly articles we posted as part of our Thirty Questions catechism series. Well, we’ve compiled them into a list and linked them here for you. We hope the following commentary by Dr. Timothy Tennent along with Scripture references will prove to be a fruitful starting point for launching you into a deeper exploration of the treasure that is Christian orthodoxy.

You can also order a hard copy version Thirty Questions: A Short Catechism on the Christian Faith from our store. This resource makes for a great teaching tool in small groups and Sunday School classes.
