About Luther’s Small Catechism Brief, clear summaries of God’s Word allow individuals and families alike to use Luther’s Small Catechism as a powerful tool and prayer book. Though the catechism was written by Martin Luther in 1529, its question and answer format provides Christians with a timeless and easy-to-use guidebook that is applicable to all the various callings we have in life.
The Small Catechism explores the Six Chief Parts of Christian Doctrine: the Ten Commandments, the Apostles’ Creed, the Lord’s Prayer, the Sacrament of Holy Baptism, Confession, and the Sacrament of the Altar. It also includes daily prayers, a table of duties for Christians, and a guide for Christians to use as they prepare to receive Holy Communion.

Luther's Small Catechism from Concordia Publishing House is a basic text for almost all LCMS Lutherans, the explanations provided in that premium content has been studied by confirmation students for generations and having Luther's Catechism and those explanations _DOWNLOADED_ on your phone and available for review and study is a valuable addition to any Christian's mobile device. That said... I emphasized Downloaded for a reason. On the free tier at least, it doesn't download Luther's small catechism translated into common English to your phone so you must access the internet every single time. I don't know if it downloads the explanations as I didn't purchase that. This means that as long as you have access to the Internet, which people take for granted but isn't always available especially when traveling, this is a serviceable option. If they downloaded all content under all circumstances I would give it 5 stars. Since they don't, if all you want is Luther's Small Catechism, and can live without the explanations, I recommend going to project Gutenberg and downloading the epub or mobi of the Catechism and load it on either the Kindle app or your epub reader of choice.
Well worth the purchase of "The Explanations"! It opened the small catechism for much deeper introspection and is convenient for teaching Confirmation class at Church. Easy to navigate, too!
Everything just perfect I don't need to carry my book with to church everytime I go so long I have my phone with me. This way I got to learn alot of things about being a Christian that I did not know. Thank you very much
Pretty good app, except, what's the deal with the means of grace section and why do I have to pay for that section? Was it even in the original work? The only other place I can find it is ya'll's website.
Outstanding app to help you and strengthen your walk in FAITH!❤️
Excellent app, and a great way to keep the Catechism close at hand.
Well designed and handy. Is it going to be updated to the 2017 revision sometime soon?
A very useful tool along with the Portals of Prayer app and Lutheran Hour Ministries
I'm a little upset that what was a free app is now charging for explanation. once again showing how greedy Concordia and LCMS is. I wonder what Martin would say.
Please, translate to portuguese the introduction and the Luther's preface. God bless.
The catechism's explanations are cost money. This isn't unacceptable. Please undo. Thank for many helps.
Excellent and helpful, have shared with many friends. Praise be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.
I've been a Lutheran since my wife and I were married in 1985 after being raised Methodist,I decided that Lutheran gave me more of what I needed from God ,this app has made me a better Lutheran, a better disciple of Jesus Christ
Enjoy having this great information on hand!
Luther's Small Catechism... Accurate and precise.
Along with King James Version Bible app never alone
Not usable on Chromebook
Love this book i learn the commandments
I like this app thank you...
Easy to use
Hard to download
Proudly Lutheran
I wish the quotes from the Holy Bible were unchanged. I guess I will have to order the book itself to be sure that it hasn't been edited.
This app is a fantastic way to keep Luther's small with you everyday. The UI is clean and modern. It's an easy to use app that makes one of Luther's most famous works also one of the easiest to read.
Hello! I purchased the app but when I tried to download it into my second devise it won't show the explanation part. Now even the first devise doesn't show the explanation. It tells me to click to restore my purchase but it doesn't work even after I click restore. Richard
I love having the Small Catechism at my fingertips! I'm able to transform 'wasted' moments into devotional gems.
Very handy for when I don't have my Small Catechism book with me while I'm out! Love that I can read it from my phone!
It would be nice to have the verse numbers like the book of Concord so that it could easily be used with the Daily Prayer app.
Great, just wish I could move this app to my sd card
Truly a remarkable learning tool. I admit, I was first skeptical of Lutheranism, but then, when I discovered how rich the theology of Martin Luther really is, it opened my eyes. I seen Scripture come alive. The Apostles Creed, the Lord's Prayer, the Ten Commandments -- cover so much more than I previously thought. It isn't empty rituals. The free version was great, but if you really want to delve in deeper, my suggestion is to buy the explanations. You won't be disappointed!
