\n
In this first session, I'll begin by giving a historical introduction to the Augsburg Confession.
\n
If you haven't yet taken Dr. Daniel van Voorhis' course, A Brief History of the Reformation, I encourage you to enroll in that course as well. Dan does a great job of setting the historical stage of the Protestant Reformation, which is helpful as we examine the Augsburg Confession.
\n
With that, let's get started!

How did you enjoy the first session?
Now that we have a little better understanding of the historical context, let's move on to the text of the Augustana, or Augsburg Confession. In this second session, we will take a look at the first five articles: God, Original Sin, The Son of God, Justification, and The Ministry.

Theology of the Augsburg Confession
In 1521, Martin Luther was banned from the Roman Catholic church for his teachings. In response, Luther and the first evangelicals of the Protestant Reformation insisted on a church council. Through official Church practice, they wanted to show that they were teaching biblical Christianity.
Meanwhile, The Holy Roman Emperor and the Pope were distracted by the very real threat of a foreign invasion, so they quickly dismissed the idea. But by 1530, this war of words in Northern Germany had reached a boiling point. In the town of Augsburg, the record was set straight:
The Augsburg Confession, which emerges from this meeting, outlines what Luther and the first evangelicals believed.
Join Dr. Scott Keith–1517 Executive Director, Professor of Theology, and author of, "Being Dad: Father as a Picture of God's Grace"–as he guides us through the Augsburg Confession and explains its key elements.
