Description
The Large Catechism of Dr. Martin Luther, 1529: The Annotated Luther Study Edition

With great detail, Kirsi I. Stjerna introduces and annotates Luther's Large Catechism, which the reformer offered as a radical reorienÂ¬tation in the matters of theology and spirituality. After diagÂ¬nosing what appeared to him as his church's failures to provide proper spiritual care, Luther set out to offer a new compass for religious life. The sweeping reforms he proposed took root priÂ¬marily through preaching and education as people embraced the new vision and transmitted it to their children. He believed all Christian peopleâ€”laity and clergyâ€”needed 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 God's expectations; the Creed proclaims God' promise; the Lord's Prayer translates law and gospel into a personal discourse with God; and the sacraments offer tangible expressions of God's 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 Luther's context and to interpret his writings for today.
