The Augsburg Confession by Philipp Melanchthon
"The Augsburg Confession" by Philipp Melanchthon is a confession of faith presented in 1530. Written in both German and Latin, this foundational document of the Lutheran Church was presented at the Diet of Augsburg to Emperor Charles V, who sought to restore religious unity in the Holy Roman Empire. The confession contains twenty-eight articles outlining Lutheran beliefs and addressing perceived abuses in the Catholic Church. Its public reading marked a defining moment
in the Protestant Reformation, establishing the theological principles that would shape Lutheran Christianity. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
