“There is, arguably, no better text to serve as an introduction to Lutheran theology and spirituality than the Catechisms of Martin Luther. Luther’s Large Catechism is an engaging and profound guide into the truths of Scripture. Participants in this seminar will read part of the Large Catechism each month and then come together to discuss the reading and its significance for our Christian life and our work together at Concordia. Come to grow in your knowledge of God, His Word, and how it shapes our life and work.”
