Formula of Concord - Article IV - Good Works
--------------------------------
After the death of Martin Luther in 1546, controversies arose in the Lutheran Church that began to question, compromise and erode the foundation upon which he stood and built his church. Written in 1577, Lutheran leaders faced those controversies head on by continuing to stand on the Word of God and continuing to put their faith in the clear message of Scripture. They produced a document, divided into twelve articles that we know today as the Formula of Concord.
Follow along with us as we read through and discuss each article of the Formula and make applications to the lives of 21st Century Christians. You can read along with the Formula or just join in on the discussion.
The best way to find the Formula of Concord is in the Book of Concord. Would you like to own your own copy? It's an inexpensive way to have the Formula and other beautiful confessional Lutheran writings at your fingertips and use them educationally and devotionally. Below are links to two different versions that we are recommending.
