Abstract: This article explores the interaction of teenagers in the current consumerist culture, and how Martin Luther's Small Catechism offers multiple entry points to begin conversation around the illusions of consumerism. It examines motives behind consumption and what the church has to say in response to the consumerist “catechism.” Suggestions pertaining to the Ten Commandments, Apostles’ Creed, and Lord's Prayer are provided for pastors and teachers of catechetical students.
