NT Bible Summaries

NT Bible Summaries are another important tool for spiritual transformation and growth.

Introduce these without legalism. Instead, take a few minutes of class time to do the first part of the Bible Summary for Matthew.

Remind confirmands they don’t have to read the entire Gospel. All that is needed is a short phrase (not even a sentence) which captures (in the shortest form possible) the content needed for the answer.

Each NT Bible Summary should take no longer than 10 minutes. The only up-front objective for NT Bible Summaries is to get confirmands comfortable with opening up a Bible and getting an initial exposure to its content. Let the Holy Spirit do the rest. As the Spirit works in the Word, you’ll be amazed how students will comment on their reading…or even begin reading the Bible on their own.

God bless your catechesis!
