Written in 1529 after Luther saw how little ordinary Christians and even pastors knew of their faith, this catechism expounds the Ten Commandments, the Apostles’ Creed, the Lord’s Prayer, Baptism and the Lord’s Supper in plain, forceful language. Its long preface urges every preacher to keep studying the catechism daily. This is the Bente and Dau translation from the Triglot Concordia.
