The Large Catechism is a religious text written by Martin Luther, a prominent figure in the Protestant Reformation. The book is a guide to the basic teachings of Christianity, intended to be used by pastors and laypeople alike. It is divided into five sections, each covering a different topic: the Ten Commandments, the Apostles' Creed, the Lord's Prayer, Baptism, and the Sacrament of the Altar (Communion). In each section, Luther provides a detailed explanation of the topic, drawing on biblical texts and his own interpretation of Christian doctrine. He also includes practical advice on how to apply these teachings to everyday life, emphasizing the importance of faith, repentance, and good works. The Large Catechism is written in a clear, accessible style, making it easy for readers to understand and apply its teachings. It has been widely influential in the development of Protestant theology and remains an important text for Christians today.In the same manner as we have heard regarding Holy Baptism, we must speak also concerning the other Sacrament, namely, these three points: What is it? What are its benefits? and, Who is to receive it? And all these are established by the words by which Christ has instituted it, and which every one who desires to be a Christian and go to the Sacrament should know. For it is not our intention to admit to it and to administer it to those who know not what they seek, or why they come. The words, however, are these.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
