On June 25, 1530, the Augsburg Confession was presented to the Emperor Charles V.
It became one of the most significant documents of the Reformation, containing a clear and concise exposition of what Lutherans believe, teach, and confess.
The Augsburg Confession contains 21 articles under the heading “Chief Articles of Faith” and another 7 articles highlighting abuses in the church that the reformers had corrected.
Our church adheres to the unaltered Augsburg Confession because we believe it is a faithful summary of Biblical doctrine.
Over the next several months, I’ll encourage you to read through the Augsburg Confession. Each week, I’ll provide a brief post with some introductory remarks and and a link to the relevant article of faith. Most of the articles are brief and will only take a few minutes to read.
This week, let’s start with the Preface. You can find the text here:
