Description: "Gassmann and Hendrix expertly present the historical context for the Reformation in its beginnings and development as background to the emergence and gathering of the Confessions. Core chapters then explore (1) the structure of faith (Scripture as norm law-gospel framework, the Trinity, and justification), (2) Christian community (the sacraments, ministry, the nature of the church), and (3) the Christian life (the two reigns sin, sanctification, eternal life).

A final chapter examines the role the Confessions play in today's ecumenical, pluralistic environment."--BOOK JACKET.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 214-219) and index.
