Sinopsis

The Apology of the Augsburg Confession is a religious text written by Philip Melanchthon, a German theologian and reformer, in 1531. The book is a defense of the Augsburg Confession, a statement of faith that was presented to Emperor Charles V in 1530 by the Lutheran princes and leaders of the Reformation. The Apology provides a detailed explanation and defense of the theological beliefs and practices of the Lutheran Church, including the doctrine of justification by faith alone and the rejection of certain Catholic practices such as the veneration of saints and the use of indulgences. Melanchthon argues that these beliefs are in accordance with scripture and the teachings of the early Christian church. The Apology was written in response to criticisms of the Augsburg Confession by Catholic theologians and was intended to clarify and defend the Lutheran position. The book is considered a significant work of Protestant theology and remains influential in the Lutheran Church today.But it is easy for a Christian to judge concerning both modes, because both modes exclude Christ, and are therefore to be rejected. In the former, which teaches that our works are a propitiation for sin, the impiety is manifest. The latter mode contains much that is injurious. It does not teach that, when we are born again, we avail ourselves of Christ. It does not teach that justification is the remission of sins. It does not teach that we attain the remission of sins before we love but falsely represents that we rouse in ourselves the act of love, through which we merit remission of sins.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world?s literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
