Lutheran Confessions II
Prerequisite: Theological Prolegomena and Confessions I
Credit Hours: 3
This course is a study of the documents included within the 1580 Book of Concord as accepted as authoritative by Confessional Lutheran churches. This second course on the Confessions covers the following documents: the Solid Declaration of the Formula of Concord, and the Epitome of the Formula of Concord. There are two essential elements of this course: a presentation of the history of the controversies and political situations leading to these documents, and the doctrinal content of the Confessions. The teachings are applied to practical life and ministry in the twenty-first century.
