An Index to Dr. Leonard T. Van Horn’s Commentary
on the Westminster Shorter Catechism,
as presented on This Day in Presbyterian History.

Mr. Craig McCluskey wrote recently, suggesting an index or guide to our Sunday posts of Dr. Van Horn’s commentary on the Westminster Shorter Catechism.
That seemed like an excellent idea and so we have prepared the following Index. We trust it will be of real help to many.

Clicking the link embedded in a question below will take you to the respective post on This Day in Presbyterian History.
Clicking the “PDF” link after a question will take you to an image scan of the bulletin insert that was originally prepared for that question.

Obviously, we are still working on this Index. Please check back later as we are working to update it.
