Whether you are new to the Lutheran faith or you are a lifelong believer, this app will help you learn and re-learn the essentials of your faith. A catechism teaches the principles of the Christian faith, often in the form of a series of questions and answers.

Additional material is provided from Heinrich Schwan’s “A Short Exposition of Dr. Martin Luther’s Small Catechism” and from Martin Luther’s Large Catechism.
