Augsburg Confession Second Anniversary
Engraver: Daniel Sigmund Dockler
Plain
The confession of faith of Augsburg was written by Philipp Melanchton for the diet in Augsburg in 1530 on Karl V request, and was meant as a unifying text to get to an agreement with the Catholic Princes. It was based on the Scriptures and on the first centuries of Church tradition, but also expressed Luther’s theological views. Rejected by the catholic Princes, it was to become the lutheran confession of faith as soon as 1555.
