    About this ebook

    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.

    Volker Schunck

    Ich bin Volker Schunck und lebe in Dresden. Ich bin gelernter Industriekaufmann und habe Theologie studiert. Durch meine Beschäftigung mit Zen-Meditation habe ich die christliche Mystik entdeckt. Mittlerweile gehe ich meinen eigenen Weg. Glaube ist kein Denken, sondern ein Sein. Es ist für mich wichtig, nicht gedankenverloren zu leben, sondern bewusst und intensiv. Dazu gehört für mich auch ein achtsamer Umgang mit anderen Menschen. Dabei hilft mir die GfK (Gewaltfreie Kommunikation), die ich in meiner Ausbildung zum Mediator gelernt habe.

      The River Of Life

      Mar 8, 2024

      I love standing on a bridge, staring into the fast-moving waters of a river, on their way to the sea from their source in distant hills. The length of a river is like the span of a human life. Some lives are long, but others, sadly, can be much short

      The ‘Yoke’ That Makes Burdens Light

      Jul 22, 2021

      Wearing a “yoke” in our daily lives may sound like an encumbrance. But when it’s the figurative yoke of Christ, we find ourselves better equipped to navigate life’s challenges with God-given strength, grace, joy, and love.

      Overcoming Our Separation From God Part II

      Sep 4, 2020

      The fact that God has to take the initiative to reveal Himself to us chafes against the rebellious heart of man. We don’t want to submit to the ways of God and His revelation of Himself. People often try to create a god convenient to their desires:
