"The Book of Concord", edited by Theodore G. Tappert, is a collection of ten foundational doctrinal documents that define the beliefs of the Evangelical Lutheran Church. These documents, known as the Lutheran Confessions, were written between the 4th and 16th centuries and include the Apostles' Creed, Nicene Creed, and Athanasian Creed, among others. The Book of Concord serves as the historic doctrinal standard for Lutheranism, providing a comprehensive guide to Lutheran theology and practice. It emphasizes the importance of grace through Jesus Christ and the authority of Holy Scriptures. Reasonable condition. Some wear to covers. Rare dog earing, underlining and notes in book.
