Luther's Primary Works: Together With his Shorter and Larger Catechisms, Translated Into English - Couverture rigide
Présentation de l'éditeur
Larger Catechism especially to have a wider influence in this country. They exhibit in the most vivid form Luther sstrong grasp of the cardinal principles of the Christian Faith, and his wonderful power of clear and forcible exposition. The larger Catechism, at all events, does not appear to have been hitherto accessible to English readers, and it is hoped that the present translation will facilitate a due apprehension of it. The task of translating it has been one of extreme difficulty. It would not, perhaps, have been so difficult to convey the substantial meaning of Luther, as is done in the Latin translation which, in the Lutheran Symbolical Books, accompanies the German text. But Luther sojbject was to be simple and popular, and a great part, accordingly, of the characteristic value of the work depends on its homely and idiomatic style. The Editors have found it impracticable adequately to reproduce this inimitable style, but the greatest pains have been taken to render the translation as close a representation of the German as possible.
