Fundamental Instructions: Justus Falckner's Catechism
Martin Kessler, ed. & trans

 
 

Fundamental Instruction: Justus Falckner's Catechism is the first Lutheran catechism written and published in North America in 1708. This Volume introduces an obscured colonial Lutheran theologian, provides a succinct modern surveyof his catechism, reprints Falckner's own personal introductionof the book in a public address given March 25, 1708, and then transcribes the actual text of the catechetical work. This first English translationof the original Grondlycke Onderricht marks the tercentennial of Justus Falckner's ordination on November 24, 1703, held at Gloria Dei Church in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and includes reproductions from the only surviving copy of the original Dutch manuscript done by William Bradford in New York City in 1708. 112pp.: $16.
