"With rare pastoral and theological insight, Alex Fogleman's Making Disciples shows why catechesis has such deep roots in Christian history, and how it can once again fuel the life of the church today."
--Thomas S. Kidd, Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary

"The renewal of Christian catechesis is mission-critical to the church in late modernity--as it has been in epochs before. Expertly (and eloquently!) retrieving the treasures of catechetical wisdom from ages past, Alex Fogleman has provided us with a wonderfully wise and immensely practical guide to making disciples in the twenty-first century."
--Joel Scandrett, Trinity Anglican Seminary

"Most of us have followed a tour guide whose knowledge and love of a place captures our interest. Scholars can be like that, too. They open up a world hitherto unknown or unexplored by people outside the discipline. They do more than inform; they excite and inspire. Alex Fogleman has done exactly that in his book on catechesis, appropriately titled Making Disciples. He has clearly mastered the sources. The book is dense for that reason, but it reads lightly, helping readers stroll it as if on a pleasant hike. It demonstrates learnedness, yet it is surprisingly readable. It communicates a great deal of information, yet it never loses sight of the outcome, which is to apply catechesis to the church today. Fogleman's book is nothing short of a wonder. It should be on every pastor's reading list. I highly recommend it."
--Gerald L. Sittser, Whitworth University

"Catechesis or Christian formation never ends, for no believer is ever fully formed or wholly catechized. Alex Fogleman's Making Disciples is a persuasive presentation on the need for ongoing, robust catechesis in the Christian church. Such formation is not a luxury but a necessary and essential ingredient for any healthy congregation."
--Greg Peters, Nashotah House

"Alex Fogleman has written a book on catechesis that is also about so much more. Here we find out how to integrate faith, hope, and love; how to be deep both in Scripture and in sacrament; how to be a modern Christian who learns from the masters of Christian life, the church fathers; how to be a true disciple, filled with joy and wonder, who is able to share the faith in all circumstances; and how to value the catechetical tools and practices that Protestants, Catholics, and Orthodox Christians have developed. Read this book in order to learn how to catechize and, even better, in order to rejoice in the instruction and companionship of a master catechist."
--Matthew Levering, Mundelein Seminary

"Jesus calls the church to 'make disciples' by 'baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit and teaching them to obey everything that [he] commanded' (Matt. 28:19-20). Yet discipleship does not just happen. As Tertullian, the second-century African church leader, contended, 'Christians are made not born.' Alex Fogleman provides an accessible account of the historic practice of making Christians, or catechesis, which guides new believers in the basic teaching of Christ (Heb. 6:1-2). This book not only offers a rich account of the ancient tradition, but it also shows how to cultivate a robust catechetical practice in our churches today to make disciples."
