Description
A study of the confessions of the Lutheran Church as set forth in the Book of Concord. The various charter documents of the reforming movement, viewed in the historical settings, are explicated in the light of their witness to the centrality of the Gospel of justification by faith. Consideration is given to the contemporary importance of this witness for the life and mission of the Lutheran Church in ecumenical engagement and in culturally diverse situations. (Priority given to distance/distributive learning students in online sections of this course.)
