Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to foster greater understanding between communions, Pastor Lackmann of the Lutheran Church takes us back to the central document of the Reformation, the Augsburg Confession, and urges us profoundly to consider what is to be found therein. In thus tearing away the centuries of polemic that have obscured the understanding and the intentions of the reformers, he sets it forth that the confessors of Augsburg had no intention of separating themselves from the Catholic Church, that they were in fundamental agreement with many dogmas of the Roman Church that are disputed by their descendents, that many of the new insights which the confessors offered are today accepted in the Roman Church, that on some points that are authentically Catholic the Roman Church has yet to come to grips, and that on some other points the doctrine of the reformers is deficient.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Augsburg Confession is the single most-important confession of faith among Lutherans today. However, it is often taught either from a historical perspective or from a dogmatic one. Yet the context out of which it arose was far more practical and lively: marked from the outset as confessions of faith in the face of fierce opposition and threats. The original princely signers, while clearly outlining the teaching of their churches, were also staking their lives on the witness to the gospel that had been emanating from Wittenberg since 1517, when Martin Luther first published his Ninety-Five Theses. By situating both the history and the theology of this document within the practice and life of faith, Timothy J. Wengert shows just how relevant the Confession's witness is for today's Lutheran parishes and their leaders by unlocking how its articles can shape and strengthen the church's witness today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Augsburg Confession is the confession of faith, which was submitted to His Imperial Majesty Charles V at the diet of Augsburg in the year 1530. This is one of the most important documents from the Lutheran reformation. Charles V had asked a number of Germans to explain their faith in the hope of bringing about religious and political unity in the Holy Roman Empire. The Augsburg Confession gives 21 basic articles of faith and seven articles that are listed as Disputer Articles Listing Abuses That Have been Corrected. The Apology of the Augsburg Confession was a response to the Catholic "Confutation of the Augsburg Confession" which was written to answer the Lutheran Augsburg Confession. Melanchthon wrote this as a defense of the original Confession, and a refutation of the Confutation that Emperor Charles V had commissioned.
