The Lutheran Confessions
The Lutheran Confessions, found in the Book of Concord, are a series of documents written by Lutheran Reformers in the 16th Century (1500s). These works express their faith and apply the teachings of the Bible to issues being debated at the time. Today, Lutheran pastors, teachers, church workers and congregations pledge to teach in harmony with the doctrines confessed in them. So these documents indentify what Lutherans believe on each topic they cover.
