Synopsis

The German edition of Commentary on Luther's Catechisms by Albrecht Peters has long been the gold standard of research on the catechetical texts of the great reformer. This translation makes the wealth of research available in English for both the researcher and the catechist. Separate volumes address the Decalogue, the Creed, the Lord's Prayer, the Sacraments, and Confession with the Table of Duties, prayers, and the Marriage and Baptismal Booklets.

 

In this volume, an overview of Luther's sacramental thinking in general is followed by treatments of Baptism and the Lord's Supper. Peters clarifies the central role played by the Sacraments in the life of the Church, showing how the Lord's Supper is integral to worship and how Baptism is more than just a right of admission; it is a powerful way in which God applies the benefits of Christ individually to effect the new creation.
