Completed in 1647, the Westminster Shorter Catechism is one of the most widely used summaries of Christian doctrine in the Reformed and Presbyterian traditions.
Prepared by the Westminster Assembly, the catechism was designed to provide a concise and accessible presentation of Christian teaching for instruction in homes, churches, and schools. Arranged in a clear question-and-answer format, it introduces readers to the essential themes of biblical faith, including the nature of God, the authority of Scripture, the meaning of salvation, and the moral law expressed in the Ten Commandments.
The Shorter Catechism was intended particularly for the instruction of children and new believers, offering a systematic guide to the doctrines expressed more fully in the Westminster Confession of Faith and the Westminster Larger Catechism. Its opening question-What is the chief end of man?-has become one of the most famous statements in Protestant theology.
For centuries the Westminster Shorter Catechism has remained a foundational teaching document within Presbyterian churches and the wider Reformed tradition. Its clarity, brevity, and careful grounding in Scripture have made it one of the most enduring catechetical texts in Christian history.
