With clarity and authority, The Formula of Concord defines the doctrine of the Lutheran Church. This is a statement of what makes Lutheranism distinct from other denominations - why the Church teaches what she teaches. Controversies and issues that trouble Christians are resolved here. Questions about what we "believe, teach, and confess"are answered here.
The core of the Lutheran faith is presented in the Epitome, a summary of the Church's twelve articles of faith, and in the Solid Declaration, a lengthier explanation of those articles. Together, these timeless documents provide readers with an overview of the Lutheran Confessions for the purpose of strengthening their theology and conviction.
The Formula of Concord discusses and settles various theological controversies that arose during the Reformation. It provided unity and concord on the solid base of Holy Scripture. This edition includes the editors introductions, notes, and woodcuts found in Concordia: The Lutheran Confessions, Second Edition.
