| Not teaching Biblical doctrine but printing money for the LCMS |
Hello Pastor Jackson
I was appalled last year when I heard about Concordia Publishing House's new Small Catechism (448 pages), released as part of their Reformation 500 efforts. I realized then that the LCMS was not serious about promoting the doctrines of Martin Luther. Luther wrote the Small Catechism to provide a brief summary of the essentials of the Christian faith that any young person or busy adult could read every day and perhaps memorize.
How anyone in the LCMS heirarchy could seriously believe that in this day and age when people have little free time and when their attention spans are delimited by 140 character Twitter messages that potential Lutheran converts would wade through 448 pages in order to glean the 'essentials' of the Christian faith ? I recall college textbooks with fewer pages.
