said tlie revision would be a tre
mendous aid in worship.
"I have been doing this (using
modern language) for years in

said. "I have nn doubt that it
aids in worship. The people at
least understand what they're
learning."
Pastor Larson said Luther him
self was a very realistic man and
his small catechism was "an ex
tremely plain book."
"The revision will unwrap it
for the modern English audience,"
he said.
The Lutherans adopted the re

It was the biggest re-translation of
tlie Bible since the King James

The translation will be the first
major revision of tlie catechism in
