Martin Luther's catechisms 3 the Small Catechism in 1528-29, and
the Large Catechism in spring 1529 - responded in part to "the
deplorable, wretched deprivation that I recently encountered while
I was a visitor" to rural Saxon congregations. The former was for
laity, the latter an elaboration largely for the education of
clergy, with Luther excoriating "their pure laziness and concern
for their bellies."Reformation scholar Timothy Wengert has studied
Luther's catechisms for the light they shed on the maturing
Reformation faith but also for the fascinating lens they afford
into the social world of Wittenberg in those years: children,
clergy, education and publishing, marriage customs, devotion and
prayer, and celebration of the Lord's Supper in this period, along
with Luther's own hearty faith, are all illumined by these Western
classics.In this volume, which also includes the texts of the
catechisms, Wengert follows the traditional catechism order to
demonstrate the dynamic faith exhibited in the catechisms in their
original context and ours. An ideal resource for college and
seminary classes, as well as individual and group reading, this
volume will be a valued vehicle for understanding Reformation faith
for many years to come.
