The Smalcald Articles

"The Smalcald Articles" by Martin Luther is a theological document written during the early 16th century, specifically in the context of the Protestant Reformation. This work is essentially a collection of articles outlining Christian doctrine that Luther and his supporters would have presented at a proposed council. The focusses on essential elements of faith, challenges various Catholic practices, and seeks to define the boundaries of acceptable belief versus what they view as corrupt or false teachings.
