About This Book

An abridged question-and-answer exposition of a Lutheran catechism, translated into plain English for young readers, offers clear explanations of the Ten Commandments, the three articles of the Creed (creation, redemption, sanctification), and the Lord's Prayer. Each brief question prompts a concise answer that interprets theological phrases, links doctrine to everyday duties, and emphasizes fearing, loving, and trusting God, repentance and forgiveness, and right conduct. Scripture quotations are used to support the explanations, and the translator prioritizes simplicity and devotional clarity while preserving the catechetical teaching structure.

Why is the word "Amen" added?

It is added in order that I may be fully assured that these petitions are acceptable to our Father in heaven, and are heard by Him.


PART FOUR.

THE SACRAMENT OF BAPTISM.

What is Baptism?

Baptism is not water alone, but it is water comprehended in God's command, and united with His Word.
