The Baptist Catechism
Keach's Catechism, also known as The Baptist Catechism, was published in 1693 by Benjamin Keach. It is a systematic exposition of Christian doctrine in the form of 118 questions and answers.
The catechism is based on the Westminster Shorter Catechism, but adapted to the convictions of the Particular Baptists regarding baptism and the covenant.
