A Brief Catechism Of Bible Doctrine
by James P. Boyce, D. D.
Professor of Systematic and Polemic in Theology The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
Summary
This is a 21 chapter work (short chapters) by Boyce (Baptist) that has a few half dozen questions in each section
Evaluation by David Cox
This work is a good work although very abbreviated. It is akin to a catechism, but unfortunately Boyce did not add scriptural references to his work. This is lamentable, because it does address a lot of subjects. Note that the essence of his work is questions and short answers on each topic.

PREFACE
The author of this brief Doctrinal Catechism knows of no work of the kind in circulation among Baptists. Keach’s Catechism, generally called the “Baptist Catechism”, is scarcely used at all. No reason can be assigned for this, except that it is too difficult for children. In the present work, an attempt has been made to simplify, as far as possible, without sacrificing important truth. The teacher may have to give some further aid, by explaining a few words here and there. The aim has been to bring the truth taught within the comprehension of children of ten to twelve years old and upwards. The desire has been felt to promote catechetical instruction in the family and the Sunday School. It is believed that there are many who appreciate its value as a means of teaching the truth of God. To the attention of such, this little work is commended, with the hope that it may meet their wants. At the same time, Pastors of churches, Superintendents and Teachers of Sunday Schools, and pious parents, are urged to consider how far a partial recourse at least to catechetical instruction may tend to restore the vigorous piety of bygone days.
