Synopsis
Excerpt from Luther's Primary Works: Together With His Shorter and Larger Catechisms, Translated Into English
First, the preacher must above all things beware of and avoid the use Of various and different texts and forms Of the Commandments, Lord's Prayer, Belief, Sacrament, etc. He must take One form and keep to it, and constantly teach the same, year after year. For the young and Simple folk must be taught one definite text and version, else they will easily become confused, if today we teach thus and next year thus, as though we wanted to improve it, and so all our labour and toil is lost.
This was clearly seen by the worthy fathers, who used the Lord's Prayer, the Belief, the Ten Commandments, all in one form. Therefore we must always teach the young and simple folk in such a manner that we do not altar one syllable, or preach to-morrow differently from to ay.
Therefore choose whatever form thou wilt, and ever keep to it. But if thou preachest to scholars or wise men, thou mayest show thy skill, and vary these articles, and twist them as subtly as thou canst. But with the young keep always to one form, and teach them first Of all these articles, namely, the Ten Commandments, the Belief, the Lord's Prayer, etc., according to the text, word for word, so that they may repeat them and learn them by heart.

About the Author
Martin Luther (1483, 1546) was a German monk, a theologian and church reformer, he is considered to be the founder of Protestantism. Luther was a professor of Bible at the University of Wittenberg when he posted his famous 95 Theses (1517). In addition to writing many books, Luther translated the Bible into German. Luther believed that salvation was only by faith in Jesus, unmediated by the church. He challenged papal authority by emphasing the Bible as the only source of religious authority and believed the church to be a priesthood of all believers.These ideas helped to inspire the Protestant Reformation and changed the course of Western civilization. He married Katharina von Bora thus initiating the practice of clerical marriage within Protestantism.- Publisher.

Luther's Primary Works: Together With His Shorter and Larger Catechisms
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents three seminal works penned by Martin Luther during a pivotal era of Christian history: 1529, the year of the Diet of Speyer. Luther, at the height of his intellectual and theological power, composed these treatises to address critical religious issues of his time and provide guidance for the future of Christianity. As part of a broader movement of spiritual renewal that would later be known as the Reformation, Luther's works tackled corruption and dogma within the established Church, arguing for individual communion with God through faith alone and challenging the authority of the Pope. The book offers a window into Luther's theological worldview, providing readers insights into the core principles that underpinned his religious beliefs. Through these writings, we delve into the fundamental tenets of the Lutheran tradition, which continue to shape Protestant Christianity today.
