Small Catechism is the abridged version of
Luther's Large Catechism. Written in the traditional
catechism form of a query followed by an answer, these
brief Q and As explain the backbone of Lutheran theology. The question
asked for each section of the Ten Commandments, Apostle's Creed, and
Lord's prayer is "What does this mean?" while the sections on the
sacraments include questions like "What does baptism give?" and "How can
physical eating and drinking do such great things?" The book is a quick
and helpful guide to common practices in the Lutheran church, and is
best used as reference or for memorization purposes. Those looking for
more complete explanations of Lutheran theology should refer to Luther's
