Timothy J Wengert

The Augsburg Confession

Renewing Lutheran Faith and Practice

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The Augsburg Confession is the single most important confession of faith among Lutherans today. The context out of which it arose was practical and lively, marked from the outset as confessions of faith in the face of fierce opposition and threats. By situating both the history and the theology of this document within the practice and life of faith, Timothy J. Wengert shows just how relevant the Confession's witness is for today's Lutheran parishes and their leaders by unlocking how its articles can shape and strengthen the church's witness today.
