You can explore the PowerPoint Slides from our overview study of the Book of Concord, the Lutheran Confessions. The Book of Concord is the definitive guide to what it means to be a Lutheran. Assembled together in 1580, after Martin Luther’s death, these documents formed what defined Lutheran theology – including initial statements of faith against Roman Catholic doctrines, teachings given to local churches, and statements of faith against a reform movement that went further than what the Lutherans felt was Biblical.
