, the collective documents of the Lutheran See also:confession, consisting of the Confessio Augustana, the Apologia Confessionis Augustanae, the Articula Smalcaldici, the Catechismi See also:Major et See also:Minor and the See also:Formula Concordiae
.
This last was a formula issued on the 25th of See also:June 158o (the See also:jubilee of the See also:Augsburg Confession) by the Lutheran See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk

- CHURCH, GEORGE EARL (1835–1910)
- CHURCH, RICHARD WILLIAM (1815–189o)
- CHURCH, SIR RICHARD (1784–1873)
Church in an See also:attempt to heal the See also:breach which, since the See also:death of See also:Luther, had been widening between the extreme See also:Lutherans and the Crypto-Calvinists
.
Previous attempts at See also:concord had been made at the See also:request of different rulers, especially by See also:Jacob See also:Andrea with his Swabian See also:Concordia in 1573, and See also:Abel Scherdinger with the Maulbronn Formula in 1575
.
In 1576 the elector of See also:Saxony called a See also:conference of theologians at See also:Torgau to discuss these two efforts and from them produce a third
.
The See also:Book of Torgau was evolved, circulated and criticized; a new See also:committee, prominent on which was See also:- MARTIN (Martinus)

Martin See also:Chemnitz, sitting at See also:Bergen near See also:Magdeburg, considered the criticisms and finally See also:drew up , the Formula Concordiae
.
It consists of (a) the " See also:Epitome," (b) the " Solid Repetition and See also:Declaration," each See also:part comprising twelve articles; and was accepted by Saxony, See also:Wurttemberg, See also:Baden among other states, but rejected by See also:Hesse, See also:Nassau and See also:Holstein
.
Even the See also:free cities were divided, See also:Hamburg and See also:Lubeck for, See also:Bremen and See also:Frankfort against
.
See also:Hungary and See also:Sweden accepted it, and so finally did See also:Denmark, where at first it was rejected, and its publication made a See also:crime punishable by death
.
In spite of this very limited reception the Formula Concordiae has always been reckoned with the five other documents as of See also:confessional authority
