{"product_id":"the-lutheran-catechism-jon-alan-schmidt-9781952295560","title":"The Lutheran Catechism: Law, Gospel, Discipleship","description":"Historically, the term \"catechism\" did not refer to a particular type of book but to a collection of traditional formulations of the basic teachings of the Christian faith. At the time of the Reformation, Martin Luther's concern for the spiritual wellbeing of the laity prompted him to reorganize that material with a new sequence: first the \u003ci\u003elaw \u003c\/i\u003eas summarized by the Ten Commandments, then the \u003ci\u003egospel \u003c\/i\u003eas summarized by the Apostles' Creed, and finally \u003ci\u003ediscipleship \u003c\/i\u003eas summarized by the Lord's Prayer and the biblical passages pertaining to Holy Baptism, confession, and the Sacrament of the Altar. His accompanying explanations constitute the Small and Large Catechisms, presenting each part \"as the housefather should teach it in a simple way to his household.\" This resource facilitates such usage by arranging Luther's texts in parallel as a six-month daily devotional, with each pair of readings accompanied by a few questions for reflection and a brief prayer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jon Alan Schmidt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1952295564\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781952295560\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Just and Sinner Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/30\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 394\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.16lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.81d","brand":"Jon Alan Schmidt","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44365070729471,"sku":"9781952295560","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_591af7dd-245d-48d1-90ec-5ce05e0d6ae9.jpg?v=1697056456","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-lutheran-catechism-jon-alan-schmidt-9781952295560","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
