What Manifold Misery I Beheld!: The Origin of Luther's Catechisms

Martin Luther's catechisms are among his most widely read works but few people know their background. What compelled him to write them when he did? Was Luther doing something new or building on the past? How did he decide what to include and leave out? How did Luther expect people to use his catechism? In this short book from missionary and seminary instructor Karl Dahlfred, the reader will learn the "how" and "why" behind Luther's catechisms and discover their relevance for the church today.
