Formula of Concord

Book •
The Formula of Concord (1580) is one of the principal confessional documents of Lutheranism, produced to settle internal disputes following the Reformation by articulating orthodox positions on contested doctrines.

It addresses issues such as original sin, free will, justification, the person of Christ, good works, and the uses of the law, including warnings against both legalism and antinomianism.

The work compiles the theological consensus of leading Lutheran theologians and stands as a binding confessional standard in many Lutheran bodies.

Its clear distinctions on law and gospel, and its treatment of the third use of the law, continue to inform Lutheran theology and pastoral practice.

The Formula is frequently cited by later Lutheran authors to defend confessional orthodoxy.
