Book Overview

The History of the Augsburg Confession: From Its Origin Till the Adoption of the Formula of Concord is a book written by John Henry Wilbrandt Stuckenberg and originally published in 1869. The book provides a comprehensive account of the Augsburg Confession, which is a foundational document of the Lutheran Church. The Augsburg Confession was written in 1530 and presented to the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V as a statement of the Lutheran faith. It was a response to the Catholic Church's accusations of heresy against the Lutheran movement. The Confession outlines the key beliefs of the Lutheran Church, including the doctrine of justification by faith alone and the rejection of certain Catholic practices such as the veneration of saints and the use of indulgences.Stuckenberg's book traces the history of the Augsburg Confession from its origins in the 16th century to the adoption of the Formula of Concord in 1577, which further clarified and solidified Lutheran doctrine. The book provides detailed analysis of the theological debates and political context surrounding the Confession, as well as the key figures involved in its creation and dissemination. Overall, The History of the Augsburg Confession is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the Lutheran Church or the development of Christian theology during the Reformation era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
