Ein "Katechismus" ist seit dem Beginn der Neuzeit ein Handbuch der Unterweisung in den Grundfragen des christlichen Glaubens. Der hier als Hörbuch vorgelegte "Große Katechismus" Martin Luthers dürfte in dieser Form kaum geeignet sein, Atheisten und Andersgläubige für den christlichen Glauben zu gewinnen. Vor rund 500 Jahren hat der Reformator aufgeschrieben, was er für den Kernbestand christlichen Glaubens hielt. Dieser besteht aus fünf "Hauptstücken" die Luther ausführlich kommentiert. Heute würde man diese Erläuterungen ganz, ganz anders formulieren.

In this, one of Martin Luther’s most impactful works, he brings together the similarities between the exile and captivity of the Israelites and the state of the Catholic church, in their destructive servitude to the papacy.

He rejects many of the practices, calling out the issues of control and misrepresentation of true Christian faith and repentance.

Martin Luther strongly disputed the claim that freedom from God's punishment of sin could be purchased with money, known as indulgences, and he confronted indulgence salesman Johann Tetzel with his 95 Theses in 1517, one of the most important religious writings of all time. John Calvin (1509-1564) was one of the most important religious figures of the last millennium and an instantly recognizable name across the globe. Calvin was an influential French theologian and pastor during the Protestant Reformation.

Luther’s 95 Theses, written in Latin, were famously posted by Martin Luther on the door of the Castle Church, Wittenberg, on October 31, 1517, an event that came to be considered as the beginning of the Protestant Reformation. The Theses focus on three main issues: selling forgiveness through indulgences, the pope’s claimed power of forgiveness, and the damage indulgences caused to sinners. The first thesis states, "When our Lord and Master Jesus Christ said, "Repent," he willed the entire life of believers to be one of repentance."
