Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Luther´s Smaller Catechism: Explained, Analayzed Illustrated The instruction of the young in the truths of our holy religion has in all ages been regarded as an important duty. In the Old Testament the Lord said of Abraham, "I know him, that he will command his children, and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the Lord, to do justice and judgment." Gen. xviii. 19. Solomon says, "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it." Prov. xxii. 6. Paul commends the mother and grandmother of Timothy, who had instructed him in the holy Scriptures from his youth up. In the early Christian church the converts from heathenism were generally very ignorant, and required careful instruction in the truths of the Christian religion, before they were baptized and admitted into full membership. Even the more educated and learned among them required more or less instruction in the fundamentals of religion. In large cities special schools were founded for this purpose. The catechetical school of Alexandria in Egypt became the first theological seminary, in which Clement and Origen were the teachers. The prevailing ignorance of the people at the time of the Reformation made instruction necessary and gave rise to the preparation of Catechisms. Nearly all the reformers, Luther, Brenz, Justus Jonas, Aecolampadius, Calvin, Ursinus, and Olevianus prepared such works. Of the value and importance of Catechetical instruction, Dr. Abdel Green speaks thus in his admirable lectures: "It is exactly this kind of instruction which is at the present time most urgently needed in many, perhaps in most of our congregations. It is needed to imbue effectually the minds of the people with ´the first principles of the oracles of God;´ to indoctrinate them soundly and systematically in revealed truth, and thus to guard them against being ´carried about by every wind of doctrine,´ as well as to qualify them to join in the weekly services of the sanctuary with full understanding, and with minds in all respects prepared for the right and deep impression of what they hear." In Scottland John Craig compiled a catechism in 1581. The Anglican Catechism was prepared in 1549 and enlarged in 1604 for the use of the Episcopal church.
