The Apology of the Augsburg Confession is a theological work written by Philip Melanchthon, a German reformer and close associate of Martin Luther. It was published in 1531 as a defense of the Augsburg Confession, a statement of faith that had been presented to Emperor Charles V in 1530 by Lutheran leaders.The Apology of the Augsburg Confession is divided into 28 articles, each of which addresses a specific point of doctrine. Melanchthon argues that the teachings of the Lutheran Church are based on the Bible and are in line with the teachings of the early Christian Church. He defends Lutheran beliefs on topics such as justification by faith alone, the sacraments, and the role of the Church in salvation.Melanchthon also responds to criticisms of the Augsburg Confession that had been made by Catholic theologians. He argues that the Confession accurately represents Lutheran beliefs and that the Catholic Church has departed from the true teachings of Christianity.The Apology of the Augsburg Confession is considered a foundational work of Lutheran theology and an important document in the history of the Protestant Reformation. It remains a valuable resource for scholars and theologians interested in understanding the beliefs and practices of the early Lutheran Church.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.
