If you are looking for quick bullet point information, you can start with Luther's Small Catechism. Be aware that the Book of Concord does contain both the small and large catechism text.

You can also read the book "The Spirituality of the Cross" by Gene Edward Veith Jr. which is an easy to read book for new Lutherans and those looking to become Lutheran. You can get it in book, eBook, and find it on Audible.
