This week Fr. Gabriel surveys what we can discern of a catechetical process already within the pages of the New Testament, with a brief look backward at the concept emerging in the Old Testament. What we find when we look at the New Testament is really two parts, kerygma (proclamation) and didache (teaching, especially ethics). We will look at a number of references that give us a fairly good idea of what the early church was requiring of candidates for baptism.
