Catechism
A catechism, is a summary or exposition of doctrine, traditionally used in catechesis, or Christian religious teaching of Christian children and adult converts, from New Testament times to the present. Catechisms are doctrinal manuals often in the form of questions followed by answers to be memorized, a format that has been used in non-religious or secular contexts as well. Catechisms emerged from Greco-Roman mystery religions, especially the late cult of the Mithraic mysteries, which competed with Christianity as an underground religion in the 1st to 4th centuries AD and shared many ritual practices. Today, they are characteristic of Western Christianity, although training catechumens in Eastern Christianity are carried out in more limited scope.
