The Augsburg Confession by Martin Luther

The Confession of Faith Presented to His Imperial Majesty Charles V at the Diet of Augsburg in the Year 1530

This foundational document of the Protestant Reformation articulates the core beliefs and practices of the Lutheran faith, as presented to Emperor Charles V at the Diet of Augsburg in 1530. It seeks to clarify and defend the theological positions of the reformers, emphasizing justification by faith, the authority of Scripture, and the rejection of certain Catholic practices. The text is structured as a series of articles that address key doctrinal issues, aiming to demonstrate the continuity of the reformers' beliefs with the early Christian church while distinguishing them from perceived errors in contemporary Catholicism.
