Getting Grounded in the Gospel

David Wells:

The book I would love to see become the year’s most influential is J.I . Packer and Gary Parrett’s Grounded in the Gospel: Building Believers the Old-Fashioned Way. It argues that our churches should be catechizing because this kind of teaching, especially of our young, preserves doctrine. Biblical doctrine is what makes the church the church. We are stumbling in passing on the doctrinal core of the faith, and that goes to the heart of the church’s weakness today.

From an interview with Tabletalk, which is worth reading.
