Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from What Did Luther Teach?: Contents: Luther´s Shorter Catechism, With Preface It has been wittily and truly remarked that one half the world knows not how the other half lives. It might be added, with equal truth, that one half the world knows not what the other half believes; added even of Christians who profess to look for one common salvation by One Faith in their One Lord. If ever we are to judge one another fairly, if ever our miserable differences are to be dissipated and Christians cease to bite and devour one another, this ignorance, unfairness, and coldness must be exchanged for interest, candour, and enquiry. And if there be any religious creed in which we English are, as a nation, bound to take an interest, it is that which is held by the many millions of Germans who more or less - theoretically at any rate - follow Luther; who speak his language, read his Bible, teach his catechisms, and use his ritual. Protestants they are, and Protestant he was. Yet how many English Protestants know what doctrines he taught, or what ritual he arranged? How many English Protestants know what the inside of a Lutheran Church is like? - in what manner the service is conducted? - or in what respects Lutheran Protestantism resembles, or differs from, English Nonconformity? And how many English Churchmen know, in their efforts to return to the first principles of the Reformation, how much, or how little, Luther retained of that which they so eagerly long after in Catholic faith and practice? These pages are offered to the public in the hope of casting a few gleams of light on this interesting and neglected subject. The Libri Symbolici Ecclesiæ Evangelicæ from which the translation is literally made is a book of authority, and contains other longer and more important matters, such as the Confession of Augsburg with Melancthon´s Apology, the Articles of Smalcald, Luther´s Longer Catechism, and the Form of Concord. It is much to be wished that all these were more accessible to the English reader. Yet this little publication may possibly awaken an interest in the faith and worship of those many millions who, out of the great families of nations, are nearest to ourselves.
