== == The Book of Concord is a 16th century Lutheran document which is a compilation of beliefs and teachings of Christians from around the 4thC CE until the 16thC CE, explaining what they believed and taught on the basis of the Holy Scriptures. It includes the three creeds of the ancient, undivided, church i.e. the Apostles' Creed, the Nicene Creed, and the Athanasian Creed. It also contains such writings of the Reformation as the Augsburg Confession, the Apology of the Augsburg Confession, the Smalcald Articles, the Treatise on the Power and Primacy of the Pope, Luther's Small and Large Catechisms, and the Formula of Concord. Further information: "The Book of Concord: The Lutheran Confessions of 1529-1580" is a collection of confessions of faith published in 1580, which outline the doctrines of the Lutheran church. It was first published on 25 June 1580, fifty years after the Augsburg Confession (the central document of the Lutheran reformation) was presented to Emperor Charles V at the Diet of Augsburg. After Martin Luther died, the fledgling Lutheran church struggled with its own divisions. These divisions and dissensions posed a threat to the results of the Reformation. The Book of Concord was an attempt to heal this divisiveness and, basically, it came to serve as the source book for Lutheran orthodoxy. * The Catechisms and the Smalcald Articles (c.1536) were the work of Martin Luther * the Augsburg Confession (c.1531), its Apology, and the Treatise were the work of Luther's co-worker, Phillip Melanchthon * the Formula of Concord was written some time after Luther died. It was constructed and edited to its final form primarily by Jacob Andreae, Martin Chemnitz, and Nickolaus Selnecker
