Applying Luther's Catechism Teacher Guide - One in Christ Esv Concordia Publishing House Spi edition

Students learn the Six Chief Parts of Christian Doctrine through a review of Luther's Small Catechism. Each lesson introduces and develops the topic, then allows the student to respond with real-life applications of the material learned. Lessons are keyed to the English Standard Version Bible.

The Teacher Guide includes lesson plans that contain:

Law/Gospel Focus
Background reading
Devotions
Confirmation Builder Connection
Extending the Lesson
Involving the Family

Each lesson is developed through three sections: Into the Lesson, Into the Word, and Into our Lives. The lesson plan includes a reduced version of the Student Book pages with answers. The guide also includes reproducible activity sheets and unit tests.

The course is arranged in five units, with a total of 60 lessons:

Unit 1--God's Will (Law and Gospel; the Ten Commandments)
Unit 2--God's Love (The Apostles' Creed)
Unit 3--God's Invitation (The Lord's Prayer)
Unit 4--God's Gifts (Confession and Absolution)
Unit 5--God's Grace for a New Life (Confirmation and the Table of Duties)

This course can be used with God's Action Plan, which provides a Bible survey so that students have a knowledge of Bible stories that reveal God's unfolding plan of salvation before catechism instruction.
