Luther incorporated questions and answers in the catechism so that the basics of Christian faith would not just be learned by rote, "the way monkeys do it", but understood.
Luther menyertakan pertanyaan-pertanyaan dan jawaban-jawaban di dalam katekismusnya sehingga dasar-dasar iman Kristen tidak menjadi sekadar hafalan, "cara monyet melakukannya", namun dipahami.
