Publisher's Synopsis
Along with Luther's previously translated "Small Catechism" (1529; translated by Theodore Tappert), this volume provides translations of the Catholic Dietrich Kolde's "Fruitful Mirror of a Christian Man" (1470; translated by Robert Dewell) and the Anabaptist Balthasar Hubmaier's "Christian Catechism" (1527; translated by Denis Janz). These catechisms were meant for children and adult laypersons in late-medieval and early-Reformation Germany.
