Martin Luther and the Bible

By the Rev. Dr. Cameron A. MacKenzie,
Professor of Historical Theology,
Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne, Ind.

During his entire career, Luther taught the Bible, translated the Bible, and preached from the Bible. For him, it was the Christian book par excellence, and he valued it above all others because it brought him the good news of Jesus Christ the Savior.

The Small Catechism:
Pattern and Shape of Christian Doctrine

By the Rev. John T. Pless,
Assistant Professor of Pastoral Ministry and Missions,
Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne, Ind.

Beginning in 1518, Martin Luther frequently preached a sermon series on "the catechism", that is, the basic components of Christian doctrine as they have been arranged and handed down from earlier generations of Christians. Eventually, these catechetical sermons would become the basis for the Large Catechism and would be crystalized in the Small Catechism.

Member of Redeemer Lutheran Church,

Do you attend church on Sunday morning, or are you attending a Jesus Theatre? Just how should a member of The Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod discern the difference and choose a church with integrity and regard to the Scripture?
