The Smalcald Articles

Más información sobre el libro

Key theological concepts are explored in this significant work by Martin Luther, written in 1537 during the Protestant Reformation. It serves as a concise summary of Lutheran beliefs, addressing the nature of God, salvation, and Church structure. The articles emphasize core Reformation principles like justification by faith alone and the authority of Scripture, while rejecting certain Catholic doctrines, including papal authority. Although it did not achieve the intended unity among Protestant factions, it remains a foundational text in Lutheran theology.
