Die Bekenntnisschriften der Evangelisch-Lutherischen Kirche

Subscription price until 10.03.2015: € 79,99!/Regular price: € 89,99Parallel to the new edition of the Confessionals of the Protestant Lutheran Church (BSELK) this volume documents the sources representing the precursors, subsequent developments and the impact of the documents contained in the BSELK. The intent is to illuminate the theological context of the ancient symbols, to show how the Confessio Augustana came to be, and to document its further development as well as the considerable efforts undertaken by Melanchthon to defend it. All of this serves to help us to better understand the role of the Schmalkaldic Articles and the two catechisms of Luther.
