Book overview

Learn, teach, and live the Christian faith with one of the most enduring resources in Lutheran history.

For nearly five centuries, Luther's Small Catechism has helped Christians learn the faith, pray with confidence, and live as God's baptized children. This 2017 edition combines Martin Luther's timeless catechism with a comprehensive Explanation featuring more than 300 questions and answers, over 1,000 Scripture references, and extensive study resources rooted in Scripture and the Lutheran Confessions.

Centered on the Six Chief Parts of Christian doctrine, this volume guides readers through the Ten Commandments, the Apostles' Creed, the Lord's Prayer, Holy Baptism, Confession and the Office of the Keys, and the Sacrament of the Altar. Throughout, it teaches both God's Law, which reveals sin, and God's Gospel, which delivers forgiveness, life, and salvation through Jesus Christ.

Designed for students, parents, pastors, teachers, and individual readers, this expanded edition connects biblical truth to everyday life while providing practical tools for worship, prayer, Christian learning, and lifelong study.

Inside, you'll find:

  • More than 300 questions and answers supported by over 1,000 Scripture references
  • Clear explanations of the Six Chief Parts rooted in Scripture and the Lutheran Confessions
  • Central Thought studies and Connections and Applications for Bible study and reflection
  • Prayers, psalms, hymns, table blessings, and devotional resources for daily Christian life
  • Guidance for Holy Communion, Scripture meditation, and the Table of Duties
  • Expanded appendices with the Church Year, worship terminology, historical background, glossary, and indexes

 

Practical and pastorally grounded, this catechism applies Christian teaching to life in the home, church, workplace, and community. Whether used for Confirmation instruction, family catechesis, Bible study, or personal devotion, Luther's Small Catechism with Explanation remains a trusted guide to Lutheran doctrine and practice, helping Christians confess the faith with clarity, humility, and confidence in Christ.
