(William Herman Theodore) 1864 1944 Dau, William Herman Theodore Martin Luther's Large Catechism, translated by Bente and Dau This Etext prepared by Rev. Bob Smith "Martin Luther's Large Catechism" translated by F. Bente and W. H. T. Dau is a theological work written in the early 16th century during the Reformation. This catechism serves as a comprehensive guide to Christian doctrine, summarizing essential teachings derived from the Bible, particularly aimed at instructing clergy and laypersons alike about the foundations of faith, moral living, and the significance of the sacraments in the Lutheran tradition. At the start of the text, Luther presents a preface that emphasizes the necessity of the Catechism for all Christians, especially for pastors and preachers. He expresses his concern over the negligence in teaching the Catechism, which he sees as a vital summary of Scripture that is both accessible and crucial for spiritual growth. Luther advocates for daily engagement with this foundational material, arguing that understanding and practicing its teachings, such as the Ten Commandments, the Lord's Prayer, and the sacraments, is essential for both personal faith and leadership in the church. This opening portion sets the stage for a detailed exploration of these vital teachings, encouraging continuous learning and reflection among its readers.
