Description
This book combines a wealthy description of the (Lutheran) Formula of Concord (1577) with experiences in these days’s Lutheran parishes to demonstrate how confessional texts would possibly still come to life in brand new Christian congregations. Timothy Wengert takes the Formula of Concord, traditionally used as ammunition in doctrinal disagreements, back to its historical home, the local congregation, giving pastors, students, and theologians a glimpse into the unique debates over each and every article.
The most up-to-date English observation on the Formula of Concord, A Formula for Parish Practiceprovides helpful, concise descriptions of key theological debates and a unique weaving of historical and textual observation with brand new Lutheran experience. Covering all the Formula of Concord the book includes discussion questions on the end of each and every chapter.
