The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod commissioned this book for the purpose of providing a resource for teachers of the Small Catechism that would help them present the Catechism as a vital, living thing in church and classroom, as part and parcel of all other facets of learning, not as something detached from it. The goal of this book is to help avoid a cold, formal, rigid and ultimately boring way of presenting the Catechism. The book contains numerous suggestions for teachers and offers lesson plans, and a myriad of other suggestions for presenting all of the Small Catechism and its Explanation. Though based on an older translation of the Small Catechism, it is every bit as useful today as when it was first published.
