This text 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- and other formational ministries- and urging evangelical churches to find room for this biblical ministry.

This modern classic by the author of Knowing God provides a comprehensive statement of the doctrine of Scripture from an evangelical perspective. J. I. Packer explores the meaning of the word "fundamentalism" and offers a clear and well-reasoned argument for the authority of the Bible and its proper role in the Christian life.
