Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

This version of Luther's Small Catechism features Scripture references taken from the New International Version (NIV) of the Bible.

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.

The explanation contained in this text is based upon and largely includes the work of Johann Konrad Dietrich, Carl Ferdinand Wilhelm, Heinrich Christian Schwan, and the committee that prepared the synodical catechism of 1943.

Gift edition features presentation page, ribbon bookmark, symbolic color artwork, and gold-edged pages.
