Givens Strickler is wrong
For those of us adults battling to learn the Shorter Catechism there is good news.
Givens Strickler writing in 1897 was wrong, and he’s wrong because of Bruce Benedict
‘Unless they are learned in childhood and youth, the strong probability
is that they will never be learned at all. Not one in five hundred of
our people, perhaps, learns them later in life. They must be learned,
then, early in life, or never.’ Givens Strickler 1897(cited in to Glorify and Enjoy God, Banner of Truth, 1994)
There is good news. Givens Strickler is wrong and he’s wrong because of Bruce Benedict.
‘Bad Boy’ Benedict has just brought out Volume 2 of his Shorter Catechism project – Sacraments and Prayer Q86 – 103
Bruce will hopefully be touring with the Shorter Catechism Band in winter 2013.
