Westminster shorter catechism
The Westminster Shorter Catechism is a catechism (summary of Christian doctrine) written in the 17th century. A young woman, Holly Dutton, has beautifully set these to music. Most (but not all) of the catechism falls within what we know as “mere Christianity” (thanks, C. S. Lewis!), so this is a great tool for memorizing the core reasons for why we as Christ-followers believe as we do.
