Catechisms

Busy parents, sponsors, and churches look to you for confirmand gifts. The new Blessings and Prayers for Confirmation offers on-the-go devotions with handy, portable prayers, hymns, psalms, and canticles. ESV Scripture takes readers through their day. The book includes the Rite of Confirmation from Lutheran Service Book.

Martin Luther wrote the catechism as a teaching tool of Christian doctrine and faith and families. It is a powerful tool for the Christian life because of it's own brief, clear summary of God's Word on the essentials of the Christian faith. Students of Lutheran theology look to the Luther's Small catechism for a concise presentation of the Six Chief Parts of Christian Doctrine written by Luther, and an explanation of Luther's Small Catechism for further clarification and study. The new narrative and reflective elements of the explanation section will appeal to those who want to learn more about Lutheran doctrine. The Sprial bound Edition includes the same written content of the 2017 edition. The Spiral Bound Edition lays flat when open, allowing it to remain open to a desired page, and includes margins wide enough to make note-taking easy.

Help catechism students dig deeper. As readers learn Martin Luther's foundational teachings in the Small Catechism, this volume will encourage them to go further in their doctrinal knowledge by studying the Large Catechism.

Written by Luther in 1529, the Small and Large Catechisms provide a clear summary of God's Word on the essentials of the Christian faith. This edition combines the two catechisms and includes the woodcuts found in Concordia: The Lutheran Confessions. Lutherans from confirmation age on up will want this standard reference edition in their libraries. The book makes a great gift for pastors and students.

To pray the Catechism is to learn how to speak to God the Father in the name of the Son through the Holy Spirit. Praying Luthers Small Catechism moves sequentially through the Six Chief Parts of Christian Doctrine with prayers developed out of the catechetical material.
