Along with Luther's previously translated Small Catechism (1529; translated by Theodore Tappert), this volume provides translations of the Catholic Dietrich Kolde's Fruitful Mirror of a Christian Man (1470; translated by Robert Dewell) and the Anabaptist Balthasar Hubmaier's Christian Catechism (1527; translated by Denis Janz). These catechisms were meant for children and adult laypersons in late-medieval and early-Reformation Germany.
