Augsburg Fortress, the publishing ministry of the Evangelical
Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), released "El Catecismo Menor
de Lutero/Luther's Small Catechism" on June 14. ELCA Evangelical
Outreach and Congregational Mission develops culture-specific
resources for the church.
The translations of Luther's Small Catechism offer both English
and Spanish texts laid out in a side-by-side format. The Spanish
translation relied on texts used in Spanish liturgies, Bibles
currently used in classrooms, traditional order of the parts of
the Catechism and Luther's German translation of biblical texts.
*Katherine R. Hinck is a senior journalism and religion major at
Augustana College, Sioux Falls, S.D. This summer she is an
intern with the ELCA News Service.
