THE METAMORPHOSIS PROJECT (Feb 2012)
ABOUT THE BOOK
For centuries, when people would enter into a relationship with Jesus, they would go through an extensive period of spiritual instruction that you and I know by the term “catechism.”
During catechism classes the catechumen would learn about the nuts and bolts of the Christian faith. They would learn about the Bible, study the core doctrines of the Christian faith as expressed in the creeds, and explore the rich Christian heritage of which they were a part.
The idea was that the catechumen- who often was a “babe in Christ”- would emerge from the catechetical process changed. It was assumed that the catechumen would know the Christian faith- enough to talk to others about Christ, or possibly to give a defense of their faith if one was warranted. What is more, the catechumen, it was assumed, would come out of this process having grown and become more mature in their faith.
In recent times, however, the church of modern times has oftentimes done away with such “intense” classes. Instead, the hour long, two meeting, discipleship class has become the norm. Rather than talking about the nuts and bolts of the Christian faith, there is some warm fuzzy talk about the person’s salvation experience, the need for baptism, and a push for that person to join the church.
This project, of which you are invited to be a part, is about jumpstarting our weary souls through an intense immersion in Scripture, the spiritual disciplines, and accountability.
