This audio recording of the Catechism, which includes the Six Chief Parts from Luther's Small Catechism, the Daily Prayers, Table of Duties, and the Christian Questions with Their Answers, is a powerful devotional, instructional or memorization tool.
Each of the Commandments, Articles and Petitions is on a separate track for ease of use for memorization purposes.
Written by Martin Luther in 1529 in question and answer format, the Small Catechism explores Six Chief Parts of Christian Doctrine: The Ten Commandments, the Apostles’ Creed, the Lord’s Prayer, the Sacrament of Holy Baptism, Confession, and the Sacrament of the Altar. Also included are daily prayers, a table of duties for Christians in their various callings in life, and a guide for Christians to use as they prepare to receive Holy Communion. Luther intended the catechism to be a prayer book for individuals and families and a powerful tool for the Christian life because it provides a brief, clear summary of God’s Word on the essentials of the Christian faith.
Approximately 42 minutes.
