Synopsis

This version of Luther's Small Catechism with Explanation features scripture references taken from the English Standard Version (ESV) of the Bible. The spiral-bound book has full-size text and extra-wide margins that include ruled lines to allow the user to make notes. Written by Martin Luther in 1529 in question-and-answer format, the Small Catechism explores the Six Chief Parts of Christian Doctrine: the Ten Commandments, the Apostles' Creed, the Lord's Prayer, the Sacrament of Holy Baptism, Confession, and the Sacrament of the Altar. Also included are daily prayers, a table of duties for Christians in their various callings in life, and a guide for Christians to use as they prepare to receive Holy Communion. Luther intended the catechism to be a prayer book for individuals and families and a powerful tool for the Christian life because it provides a brief, clear summary of God's Word on the essentials of the Christian faith. Additional reference material includes: books of the Bible; the creeds and confessions; an explanation of Luther's seal; an explanation of the church year; 50 terms relating to worship and God's House; a brief history of the time between the testaments; an outline of God's salvation plan; and 50 Christian symbols and their meanings.
