Book of Concord FAQs

Title page from first edition of the Book of Concord - click here for FAQsThis year is the 425th anniversary of the Book of Concord, the definitive edition of the ten confessional documents of the Evangelical Lutheran Church, from the three Ecumenical Creeds of the first millennium, to the Formula of Concord of 1577.

To celebrate this event, CPH is publishing what looks likely to be a very attractive "Reader's Edition" of the Book of Concord, and as part of the publicity for this Revd Paul McCain has published a set of FAQs about the Book of Concord. These can be freely copied in their unamended form for non-commercial purposes, so I've put a copy on my longer blog.

For more information on the forthcoming "Reader's Edition" of the Book of Concord, being published to celebrate the 425th anniversary of its original publication, see here. For those who cannot wait till June, the most recent English translation of the BoC, the Kolb/Wengert edition, can be found on Amazon.com and (for the absurdly low price of £21.22 inc. P&P) on Amazon.co.uk.

Update: A picture of the front cover, and "advance praise" for the forthcoming edition can be found here. It looks like it will be a very handsome volume indeed.
