Publisher's Synopsis
Lutheran Doctrine: An Explanation of Luther's Small Catechism by Eickmann and Walther is a comprehensive guide to the fundamental beliefs and practices of the Lutheran Church. The book is based on Martin Luther's Small Catechism, a collection of questions and answers that summarize the teachings of the Bible and the Lutheran faith. The authors provide a detailed analysis of the six chief parts of the catechism: the Ten Commandments, the Apostles' Creed, the Lord's Prayer, Holy Baptism, Confession, and the Sacrament of the Altar. Each section is explained in simple language, with references to relevant Bible passages and historical context. In addition to the catechism, the book covers other important topics such as the nature of God, the role of the church, and the relationship between faith and good works. The authors also address common misconceptions about Lutheran doctrine and provide guidance for living a Christian life. Overall, Lutheran Doctrine is an accessible and informative resource for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of the Lutheran faith. It is suitable for individual study or for use in group settings such as Bible studies or confirmation classes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
