Ideas and instructions are also included for morning and evening devotions and giving thanks at mealtime.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The very form of a Catechism implies that questions are to be asked by the instructor and answers given by the pupil, that there is to be committing to memory and reciting of that which is so committed. Luther, in his preface to the Catechism, strongly insists on the necessity of using precisely the same form of words and going over them again and again until they are both well committed to memory and well understood.It is to be feared, from the frequent expression "Catechetical Lectures," that strict and proper catechisation has been somewhat and in some places supplanted by "lectures," which become a pouring-in process, in which the instructor is active and the pupil passive. Thus the real interest of teaching is lost, and the result is unsatisfactory, whether we consider the heads or the hearts of the pupils. He is no Catechist who merely lectures on the topics presented by the Catechism.The object of teaching is learning; and the process is double, teacher and taught each having his part to do, and neither being able to do the part of the other. When, therefore, the latter is attempted, there can be only failure.

A Christian, Profitable, and Necessary Preface and Faithful, Earnest Exhortation of Dr. Martin Luther to All Christians, but Especially to All Pastors and Preachers, that They Should Daily Exercise Themselves in the Catechism, which is a Short Summary and Epitome of the Entire Holy Scriptures, and that they May Always Teach the Same. A Christian, Profitable, and Necessary Preface and Faithful, Earnest Exhortation of Dr. Martin Luther to All Christians, but Especially to All Pastors and Preachers, that They Should Daily Exercise Themselves in the Catechism, which is a Short Summary and Epitome of the Entire Holy Scriptures, and that they May Always Teach the Same. We have no slight reasons for treating the Catechism so constantly [in Sermons] and for both desiring and beseeching others to teach it, since we see to our sorrow that many pastors and preachers are very negligent in this, and slight both their office and this teaching; some from great and high art [giving their mind, as they imagine, to much higher matters], but others from sheer laziness and care for their paunches, assuming no other relation to this business than if they were pastors and preachers for their bellies' sake, and had nothing to do but to [spend and] consume their emoluments as long as they live, as they have been accustomed to do under the Papacy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With great detail, Kirsi I. Stjerna introduces and annotates Luthers Large Catechism, which the reformer offered as a radical reorientation in the matters of theology and spirituality. After diagnosing what appeared to him as his churchs failures to provide proper spiritual care, Luther set out to offer a new compass for religious life. The sweeping reforms he proposed took root primarily through preaching and education as people embraced the new vision and transmitted it to their children. He believed all Christian peoplelaity and clergyneeded a guide to comprehend the basic biblical, creedal, and sacramental teachings. The order with which Luther proceeds in the Large Catechism is deliberate, with a distinct theological rationale; the Commandments express Gods expectations; the Creed proclaims Gods promise; the Lords Prayer translates law and gospel into a personal discourse with God; and the sacraments offer tangible expressions of Gods grace and signs to lean on in faith. This volume is excerpted from The Annotated Luther series, Volume 2. Each volume in the series contains extensive annotations, illustrations, and notes to help shed light on Luthers context and to interpret his writings for today.
