An Explanation of the Baltimore Catechism of Christian Doctrine (#4)

Baltimore Catechisms one through four are a progressive presentation of the basics of the Catholic Faith. This was done by Father Kinkead and issued in four volumes for the various levels of study as the Baltimore Catechism. No. 1 for First Communion classes. No. 2 for Confirmation classes. No. 3 for two years’ course for Post-Confirmation classes. No. 4 for Teachers and Teachers’ Training classes. This is also known as An Explanation of the Baltimore Catechism and is numbered in harmony with Baltimore Catechism number 2.

The plan of this book makes it very simple and handy. The Catechism is complete and distinct in itself, and may be used with or without the explanations. The teacher is supposed, after hearing the lesson, to read the explanation of the new lesson as far as time will allow. It may be read just as it is, or may be learned by the teacher and given to the children in substance.
