VOL. 10, NO. 1 | Train Up a Child: Becoming People of the Word in a Culture of Images

In this issue, we discus catechesis. By analogy, someone interested in understanding creation could certainly begin a trek into nature without a map and without the accumulated wisdom of generations of biologists, geologists, and ecologists. But why would he or she want to— given the possibility of getting lost, of mistaking a local trail for the main road? In the same way, the prudent path to understanding Scripture is with the “maps” that are the orthodox creeds and catechisms. These aids to reading are not substitutes for the biblical texts; rather, they are guides compiled by the community of faith, highlighting main themes and alerting us to common errors.
