Great Resource

This book is a great resource and a very easy way to read the Lutheran confessions. The supplemental material gives you great historical background and setting as you read the confessions.

Best translation for the Twenty-First Century.

Anyone wanting to understand what the Christian church has traditionally confessed should read this volume. In many ways, this edition shares a rich heritage with the Tappert and the Kolb/Wengert editions. However, the Concordia edition is far easier to read and frequently makes even the heaviest of theological concepts understandable. Next to the Bible itself, this book should be in every Christian household.

Quality Product

Very high quality book, very happy to add it to my library.

One oddity that I notice about this sort of book is that they come with a reading 'guide' in the preface and the guide has you starting in the middle, turning to the back, then back to the front and then back to the middle etc., why didn't they just print the book in the order that they think you should read it? :P When used as a reference book you use the table of contents to find what you want anyway. :)

Great product though, glad I bought it.

Great

This volume is packed with doctrine and answers questions that many Christians ask. It gives answers from scripture and also points out common errors of belief. It is not a book you just sit and read once, but one you will want to study for a lifetime. What is most interesting is that even though it was written in the 1500's it is very up-to-date and relevant for our time. With so much watered down, Christless Christianity in today's world, this is provides a strong and refreshing explanation of the Christian faith.

Great price, great book

This is an excellent book. It is high quality, and yet low price. If you want detailed descriptions of the traditional Lutheran beliefs, this is the book to get. In addition to the confessional documents themselves, this book is filled with notes and other helps to help you to understand the context and reasoning behind certain passages. A Lutheran, or any other Christian for that matter, would be foolish not to get this book.

The most comprehensive edition of the Lutheran Confessions in English. It features period woodcuts and paintings, along with helpful introductions, annotations, notes, glossaries and a variety of indices. A timeline of the period and daily reading guide are included as well. This edition is a translation based on the actual text scontained in the authoritative editions of the Book of Concord, using either the German or the Latin text, unlike other English translations which are based on reconstructed texts, but not necessarily those that are the Lutheran Church's approved texts of their confessional documents. It is designed for the reader interested in understanding in depth what the beliefs, teachings and confession of the Lutheran Church are.
