    Product Description

    Historically, the church's ministry of grounding new believers in the essentials of the faith has been known as catechesis - systematic instruction in faith foundations, including what we believe, how we pray and worship, and how we conduct our lives. For most evangelicals today, however, this very idea is an alien concept. Packer and Parrett, concerned for the state of the church, seek to inspire a much needed evangelical course correction. This new book makes the case for a recovery of significant catechesis as a nonnegotiable practice of churches, showing the practice to be complementary to, and of no less value than, Bible study, expository preaching, and other formational ministries, and urging evangelical churches to find room for this biblical ministry for the sake of their spiritual health and vitality.

    Review from Church Times, 11th March issue

    THIS is an excellent book, but not one for the faint-hearted: it consists of just over 200 pages of carefully argued writing, and those who take the time to read it and reflect on it will not regret doing so. J. I. Packer probably needs no introduction, and his co-author, although not well known on this side of the Atlantic, is an American aca?demic and author. Although they are writing primarily for an Evan?gelical audience, some of the prin?ciples that they highlight are, of course, relevant for the whole Church.

    A GoodBookStall Review

    Grounded in the Gospel is a compelling, challenging and holistic call to our eternal roots in the faith. Thoughtful, thorough and worthy of widespread engagement, indeed worthy of our best application!
