Small Catechism

The Small Catechism, written by Martin Luther, is a concise guide that explains the core beliefs of Christianity, especially for those new to faith or teaching others. It covers basic topics like the Ten Commandments, the Apostle’s Creed, the Lord’s Prayer, and the sacraments of Baptism and Holy Communion. Its purpose is to help individuals understand and live out their faith confidently, serving as a foundational resource for instruction, reinforcement, and personal reflection within the Lutheran tradition.
