Description

Martin Luther’s catechisms—the Small Catechism in 1528-29 and the Large Catechism in spring 1529—responded in part to the “deplorable” biblical illiteracy of the day. Having rediscovered the timeless value of the catechisms himself, modern Reformation scholar Timothy Wengert demonstrates the dynamic faith exhibited in the catechisms in their original context and invites readers to “taste the catechism again for the first time.”
