Synopsis

The Large Catechism is a religious text written by Martin Luther, a German theologian and religious reformer, in the 16th century. The book is a comprehensive guide to Christian doctrine and practice, and it is intended as a guide for pastors and teachers to use in instructing their congregations. The Large Catechism is divided into five parts, each of which covers a different aspect of Christian faith and practice. The first part focuses on the Ten Commandments, the second on the Apostles' Creed, the third on the Lord's Prayer, the fourth on the sacraments of baptism and communion, and the fifth on the office of the ministry. Throughout the book, Luther emphasizes the importance of faith, repentance, and obedience to God's will, and he provides practical guidance for living a Christian life. The Large Catechism is considered one of the most important works of Protestant theology, and it continues to be studied and used by Christians around the world today.In the same manner as we have heard regarding Holy Baptism, we must speak also concerning the other Sacrament, namely, these three points: What is it? What are its benefits? and, Who is to receive it? And all these are established by the words by which Christ has instituted it, and which every one who desires to be a Christian and go to the Sacrament should know. For it is not our intention to admit to it and to administer it to those who know not what they seek, or why they come. The words, however, are these.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.

A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

Martin Luther (10 November 1483 – 18 February 1546) was a German monk, Catholic priest, professor of theology and seminal figure of a reform movement in 16th century Christianity, subsequently known as the Protestant Reformation. He strongly disputed the claim that freedom from God's punishment for sin could be purchased with money. He confronted indulgence salesman Johann Tetzel with his Ninety-Five Theses in 1517. His refusal to retract all of his writings at the demand of Pope Leo X in 1520 and the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V at the Diet of Worms in 1521 resulted in his excommunication by the Pope and condemnation as an outlaw by the Emperor.
