Once again, the Lutheran Ladies welcome a man (GASP!) into the Lounge for a Kitchen Table Talk conversation, inspired by Martin Luther’s famous Reformation “table talk” conversations with his students.

In this episode, LCMS International Center chaplain Pastor Sean Daenzer returns to offer guidance on yet another timely and important theological hot topic: Luther’s Large Catechism.

What is the Large Catechism? How is it related to Luther’s (much more familiar) Small Catechism? Why don't more Lutherans read this “extended edition” of the catechism — and why should they? What are Rev. Daenzer’s favorite, “don’t-miss” excerpts from the Large Catechism? And what (if any) controversies may lie hidden within the text?

The Rev. Sean Daenzer serves as director of worship for The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod and as chaplain of the LCMS International Center in Saint Louis. A veteran guest of KFUO Radio programs including Concord Matters and Sharper Iron, Rev. Daenzer can now be heard regularly through his Daily Chapel sermons.
