Luther's Catechism: The Small Catechism of Dr. Martin Luther and an Exposition for Children and Adults Written in Contemporary English (Revised)

I'd learned some of this back in 7th and 8th grade confirmation classes but we used a different book, and I hadn't reviewed it in some time. It was interesting to see the scripture passages that were used to develop some of the ideas in the Lutheran church.

Kuske’s Luther’s Catechism which was used for many years since 1982 is written in two parts. “The first part of this book is a translation of the Small Catechism which Luther wrote in German is 1529. The second part of this book is an… explanation of what Luther wrote.”
“In the

explanation, each part of Luther’s Small Catechism is explained in a question and answer form. After each question there are Scripture passages which give the Bible’s answer to the question. The words in italics in each passage indicate the part of the passage which is mst important for answering the question. The answer merely summarizes what the Scriptures teach.”

Interesting book that was used in my confirmation class. While I read it decades after confirmation, I found it interesting that the message seemed to be one of loving everyone and not on being in some ways superior to any other form of Christianity or any one for that matter. There are a few

things I disagree with and some contradictions, but this made me feel like I understood the faith more.
