Synopsis

Excerpt from Explanation of Luther's Small Catechism: Based on Dr. Erick Pontoppidan

For obvious reasons a literal translation has not been made of certain questions and answers whose origi nal phraseology depended on the Norwegian Catechism text. In these cases the translation has been conformed to the text of the Standard English Version. Otherwise the original has been followed as closely as possible.

May the blessing of God attend this little book on its mission among the children and young people of our Church, and prosper it as a means of establishing them in the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.

About the Author

Martin Luther (1483, 1546) was a German monk, a theologian and church reformer, he is considered to be the founder of Protestantism. Luther was a professor of Bible at the University of Wittenberg when he posted his famous 95 Theses (1517). In addition to writing many books, Luther translated the Bible into German. Luther believed that salvation was only by faith in Jesus, unmediated by the church. He challenged papal authority by emphasing the Bible as the only source of religious authority and believed the church to be a priesthood of all believers.These ideas helped to inspire the Protestant Reformation and changed the course of Western civilization. He married Katharina von Bora thus initiating the practice of clerical marriage within Protestantism.- Publisher.
