In God's School

"This work's availability in English is most welcome. Building on classical Reformed catechisms (Calvin and Heidelberg), Marcel adapts their rich statements of biblical truth to the needs and issues of the present. The result is a valuable instructional resource for the life of a congregation, for serious inquirers as well as its own members."

--Richard B. Gaffin Jr.

"Taking its bearings from the Heidelberg Catechism, Pierre Marcel's In God's School is an outstanding aid for teaching the Christian faith to young and old alike. Motivated by a deeply pastoral interest in communicating the riches of Christ, with a lively sense of the personal as well as corporate dimensions of our faith, this work is of enormous contemporary value. Similarly motivated, Dr. Howard Griffith has put us in his debt for making available this clear and elegant translation. This is not simply a book to be read, but a trellis that winds our hearts toward God."

"Marcel's book, In God's School, is a rich vein of pastoral encouragement (and hitherto untapped resource for English speakers). This little book excavates from the quarry of the Reformation and its deep pastoral theology. Howard Griffith has given us a spiritual gold mine by his masterful translation of this French treasure. Read it, meditate on it, and your soul will glitter with blessing."
