Excerpt from Luther's Small Catechism: With Prooftexts, Additions and Appendices

In the edition of the Catechism, the attempt is made to combine some of the most desirable features of the editions that have preceded it. The plan is to give the standard text of Luther's Catechism, with such proof-texts as will illustrate each distinct thought. For this purpose the references given in the edition of 1855, have been subjected to a careful revision, and compared with the proof-texts given in the "General Council" Catechism and the edition prepared by Drs. Mann and Krotel. The aim has been to refer only to those proof-passages that ought to be cited, without overburdening the learner.

The edition of 1855 has never been superseded, on account of its valuable additions, and the features which made it so popular, with such changes as would enhance their value, are incorporated in the present work. The "Order of Salvation in 169 Questions and Answers" is given, with Scripture references printed in full. The "Examination of Catechumens" is also given, with such additions as will enable the Pastor to explain to his Catechumens the nature of Confirmation and of the vows then made to God. The part, entitled "The Doctrines and Duties of the Christian Religion, systematically arranged" is offered as an outline for a three years' course of Catechetical Instruction, or for a course of Catechetical Sermons during week-day services. It endeavors to combine in one table the three analytical tables of the edition of 1855.

Four Appendices have been added, in the first of which is presented a chronological summary of Biblical History, arranged in such a manner that the Holy Bible may be read as one connected history; in the second a short account of the Church Year and Festivals is given, as published in the "General Council" Catechism; in the third we have the Chants and Canticles, as given in the Sunday School Book; and in the fourth there is a selection of fifty…
