This new edition of Ames's Sketch of the Christian's Catechism with historical introduction will be helpful to scholarly
and general readers. William Ames, 'the learned doctor' of
seventeenth-century Puritanism, was preeminently the teacher that showed
Christianity as combining both doctrine and practical living.
Ames's method in this book is not an analysis of the Catechism itself. Rather, he chooses a particular text of Scripture that supports the main thoughts for a given Lord s Day. While the exposition is directly from the Bible, Ames's doctrinal conclusions interact with the corresponding Questions and Answers of the Heidelberg Catechism.
