A Short Catechism on Worship
By John Owen
John Owen (1616–1683), one of the leading English Puritans and theologians of the seventeenth century, composed this Short Catechism on Worship as a concise guide to the principles of biblical worship. Written in a simple question-and-answer format, the catechism emphasizes that God is to be worshiped only in the ways of His own appointment, revealed in Scripture, and centered on the person and work of Christ. It insists that all man-made inventions in worship are unlawful, that Christ’s ordinances remain binding until the end of the world, and that the great apostasy of the church often begins in false worship. In clear, pastoral language, Owen outlines the ordinances of the New Testament church—prayer, preaching, sacraments, psalm-singing, and discipline—and highlights their purpose in glorifying God, building up believers, and displaying the unity of the saints.
