Two Short Catechisms (1700)

Two companion catechisms for congregational instruction in Reformed theology. The briefer *Lesser Catechism* distills core doctrine into memorable Q&A for younger learners, while the *Greater Catechism* expands each point through 27 chapters — covering Scripture, the Trinity, election, the Fall, Christ's person and threefold office, calling, justification, sanctification, the sacraments, the church, and resurrection. Dense with proof texts and sharp polemical notes against Rome and Arminianism, the work reflects Owen's high-Calvinist conviction that sovereign grace alone saves.
