This sermon has been undertaken for the instruction of children and uneducated people. Hence from ancient times it has been called, in Greek, a “catechism”—that is, instruction for children. Its contents represent the minimum of knowledge required of a Christian. (By which he means: the texts of the Ten Commandments, the Apostles’ Creed, the Our Father).—LC Preface 1, 2
