catechism

Teaching by question and answer on the Socratic method, but chiefly as a means of instructing children in the basics of the Christian creed. A person being instructed in this way in preparation for baptism or confirmation is called a catechumen.

A form of catechism was used for the catechumens in the early Christian church. Little books of catechism were written by Luther and Calvin at the Reformation.
