Synopsis

This annotated edition of “Martin Luther’s Large and Small Catechism” includes an extra appendix (in addition to the two already included in the original book) which provides an interesting overview of: •Martin Luther’s peasant roots, his education in pre-law, and how he was diverted from a law career to that of a monk-turned-professor and eventually, Protestant reformer,•The role of the printing press in spreading the “95 Theses” quickly over Europe, catapulting Martin Luther to near-instant prominence in the religious dialogue of his day,•The story of how Martin Luther colluded with a fishmonger to smuggle his future wife and her friends away from a convent, and•Martin Luther’s impact on the Protestant Reformation as well as modern religious thought.Martin Luther wrote his small and large catechisms as a teaching tool of Christian doctrine and faith for individuals and families. Today, more than 500 years after Luther first came into prominence by penning the “95 Theses,” his catechisms are still powerful tools for the Christian life.Readers will find in these pages a brief but clear summary of God's Word on the essentials of the Christian faith, together with practical applications to the Christian life. Pastors and parents will appreciate this book as a way to not only teach the catechism but also instruct members of the family at home in the basic doctrines of faith. While the Small Catechism sets the stage and whets the appetite for further spiritual reading, the Large Catechism is the natural progression—and best explanation—of the shorter book. Those desiring to dig deeper in their spiritual knowledge will find a great starting point in the Large Catechism.The Small and Large Catechisms of Martin Luther combines two of the Reformer’s most important works into one volume. Lutherans from confirmation age on up will want this standard reference edition in their libraries. The book makes a great gift for pastors and students.
