Throughout the history of the church, Christians have used catechisms—collections of questions and answers designed for memorization and recitation—to teach others the core doctrines of the faith. The New City Catechism is a modern-day resource aimed at reintroducing this ancient method of teaching to Christians today.
This short book lays out 52 questions and answers related to God, human nature, sin, Christ, the Holy Spirit, and more. Whether used devotionally, recited orally, or memorized over the course of a year, families, churches, small groups, and Christian schools will treasure this as a valuable tool for teaching the core doctrines of the Christian faith to children and adults alike.

This is a bare-bones edition of the New City Catechism: the question, the answer, and the Scripture text, and little else. The commentary, that is part of the NCC app, is absent. I wanted all that the app offers, but with the excellent tagging and search features that are the hallmarks of Logos resources. Well, there's not much to tag in this resource. The Scripture text relating to the question is already available in the catechism. Power Lookup isn't going to do much for you there. Personally, I find the NCC app to be much better.
