| Summary: | To Lutherans, the Augsburg Confession is important despite the widespread ignorance throughout the church regarding what it actually says. A re-examination of the Augsburg Confession, for example, provides a realistic and profound anthropology, understanding the human being in terms of original sin (peccatum radicale) while, at the same time, graced by God through justification. Whether or not Lutheranism will have a future in an increasingly secular society will depend on the faithfulness and astuteness of the Lutheran Christians themselves. |
