The Small Dresden Catechism

By Volker Schunck

During the reading of Luther's Catechisms and the Heidelberg Catechism I noticed how much seemed to me incomprehensible, and that although I have studied theology. Sure, my few pages cannot compare themselves with these gigantic works. And here the title “The Small Dresden Catechism”, in dependance on Luther’s “Small Catechism” with mention the point of origin like “The Heidelberg” maybe comes along a little bit cocky, but I have tried like them, to say the eternal message of God, who shows us in Christ his human face, into the presence. The texts arose over years. I’ am always new astonished, how manyfold the linguistic possibilities are to describe the content of the Christian faith. I am like a painter who thinks "This is your last picture, there's nothing left to paint.” So I think by myself "Now everything has been said, now you have well understood and described God and the Christian faith" But then new ideas and experiences come, and the seeking of words to say God appropriate in this time and into the world, begins anew.

Thanks a bunch!!! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I live in Dresden, Germany. First I was a merchant, then I studied theology for a few years. Through my engagement with Zen I became aware of the Christian mysticism. Meanwhile I go my own way. Faith is for me not only a world-view but a mode of being. My Christian faith and my experiences in meditation influence my everyday life, in which I try to be attentive. My books arise from this spirit too.
