Getting Down to Basics: Augsburg Confession & Small Catechism

larger image

$179.95

Timothy Wengert, is known for artfully mining the treasures of the Reformation. In this course these old documents come alive through his engaging style and approach. The Book of Concord, which contains the basic creeds and confessions of the Lutheran Church, has been used in many ways since it was first published in 1580. This course looks in detail at its two main documents: the Augsburg Confession and the Small Catechism, with some help from the other Lutheran confessions contained there. What we discover are people caught in the act of confessing their Christian faith, especially the author of the Small Catechism, Martin Luther (1483-1546), and the chief drafter of the Augsburg Confession, Philip Melanchthon (1497-1560), Luther’s colleague at the University of Wittenberg. Thus, the Book of Concord does not simply get its authority from later Lutheran churches or pastors but from the event of confessing precisely when that confessing moves us to confess our own faith in the God revealed in Scripture.

This course contains ten sessions, each with three parts, constituting over ten hours of material. It includes discussion questions and a comprehensive study guide with bibliography.

Timothy Wengert teaches and does research in Reformation History and the Lutheran Confessions. In 1981 he discovered and published notes on two of Martin Luther's sermons from 1520. In 2000 a new English edition of The Book of Concord appeared edited jointly by Robert Kolb and Timothy Wengert (Minneapolis: Augsburg Fortress Publishers). His translation of Luther's Small Catechism from that volume is used widely throughout the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
