The Augsburg Confession

"The Augsburg Confession" by Philipp Melanchthon is a significant theological document produced during the early 16th century, specifically in the context of the Reformation. This foundational text, which serves as a formal declaration of the Lutheran faith, reflects the theological disputes and religious reforms emerging from the Protestant movement against the Catholic Church. It addresses core Christian doctrines and practices, articulating the beliefs of the Lutheran churches in response to critiques from the Papacy and other factions within Christendom.
