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 alien. Packer and Parrett, concerned for the state of the church, seek to inspire a much-needed evangelical course correction.

J. I. Packer, one of today’s most important evangelicals, has greatly influenced the modern church and the field of evangelism. The J. I. Packer Collection, a compendium of that influence, presents six volumes of Packer’s God-centric thoughts on holiness, God’s will, and discipleship. You’ll get daily wisdom from a biblical, Evangelical perspective in the form of devotionals and books on the life of faith, which, in Logos, can be configured into daily reading plans, making any book a daily or weekly devotional.

Why does the church teach? And what should it teach? In recent years, traditional Sunday school and education programs have declined in influence and effectiveness. Education in the church is often sidelined by other competing priorities, and our efforts become haphazard and random. As a result, many Christians have not learned the fundamental doctrinal content of the faith. As a response, a growing number of church ministries have moved toward an emphasis on Christian spiritual formation. But churches must hold together education and formation, the teaching of the faith and the forming of the faithful.
