The Catechism of the Orthodox Christian Faith is a revised and expanded catechism based on the Longer Catechism of St Philaret of Moscow and on the Orthodox Confession approved at Jassy (1642) and Jerusalem (1672). In the manner of the classic catechisms, it teaches the faith by questions and answers, drawing at every step on Holy Scripture, the Fathers, the councils and the liturgical life of the Church.
After an opening section on catechesis, divine revelation, Holy Tradition and the books of the Bible, the catechism follows the ancient pattern of faith, hope and love. Part I, On Faith, explains the Creed article by article, together with the holy Mysteries. Part II, On Hope, is devoted to prayer, the Lord’s Prayer and the Beatitudes. Part III, On Love, sets out the law of God and the Ten Commandments.
A selection of questions can be read here, and the Catechism can be searched by word or theme. The present text is the pre-publication edition, released for the comments of clergy and faithful before the completion of the hierarchical review.
Twelve questions chosen at random. A new selection appears at each visit.
