Being a Lutheran (Missouri Synod) I can say that this is one of the greatest theological writings outside of the Bible ever. It is a wonderful overview of many biblical truths. Many of his arguments such as his support for infant-baptism are practically impossible to soundly refute. If you agree with his theology or not, it is a valuable resource for anyone who wants to grow in the Christian faith or learn about what Lutherans believe.

This is not light reading. If you want the ten commandments spelled out as to how every little thing that can possibly fall under it than this is your book. A must for every Lutheran home or those who are interested in the teachings of Martin Luther.

I am teaching 4th grade Sunday School and it is vital to understand the catechism. This material is very readable and very detailed, perfect for a teacher.

Just got this in and looked it over and it will be helpful when teaching my son the basic principles of our faith. A great aid in growing in the Spirit. I love it!

I thought it was pretty good. Easy to understand for the most part. I thought it was definitely worth my time to read it. And it increased my desire to serve God.

This book is smilar to Luther's own small catechism, but deals with only differant aspects of theutheran dogma than it. In this there are covered: The 10 Commandments, The Lord's Prayer, Baptism and Sacrament of the altar, among others. What I really like is that you need to be in attendance regularly of a Lutheran church to really know what is being talked about in this book. Martin Luther, the author of this book, rifting from the Catholic church in the 1500s and founded the Protestant branch of CHristianity and his last name Luther is where the Lutheran denomination comes from. Don't mistake Martin Luther with Martin Luther King Jr. Though King Jr. is on a similar stature in Christianity with him, they were two differant people during two differant eras in Christianity.
