Summary "An Explanation of Luther's Small Catechism" by Joseph Stump is an instructional guide written in the early 20th century, designed to aid catechetical instruction within the Lutheran Church. The book serves as a detailed exposition of Martin Luther's Small Catechism, aiming to provide pastors and catechumens with an analysis, outline, and summary that deepens understanding of Christian doctrine and practice. The opening of the text outlines the author's intent to support pastors with a structured teaching method while giving catechumens the opportunity for review at home. Stump emphasizes the two-fold objective: facilitating effective oral instruction and ensuring the teachings are retained in memory. The mantra of continuous simplicity underpins the work, as Stump strives to enhance the original catechism's teachings while remaining true to Luther's core messages. This section establishes a foundational understanding of the catechism's importance and sets the stage for the subsequent detailed exploration of Christian principles such as the Ten Commandments, the Creed, and the sacraments.
