Luther’s Small Catechism

A new edition of Luther’s Small Catechism, excerpted from the 1910 publication by Joseph Stump (1866-1935). Originally published by Martin Luther in 1529 for the purpose of training children, Luther’s Small Catechism(Der Kleine Katechismus) is an elegantly concise articulation of the core tenets of the Christian faith, as understood and preached by Martin Luther and embraced by confessional Lutheran churches to this day. Included in this volume are Martin Luther’s capsule-sized summaries and analyses of the Ten Commandments, the Apostles’ Creed, the Lord’s Prayer, the Sacrament of Holy Baptism, the Office of the Keys and Confession, and the Sacrament of the Eucharist. Luther’s Small Catechism is closely studied and often memorized by young confirmands in the Lutheran church, and this volume is the perfect gift for such students — a small, pocket-sized paperback volume that can be taken anywhere for easy study and reference.
