Bøger af Leif Grane

Den augsburgske bekendelse, Confessio Augustana, blev til på Rigsdagen i Augsburg i 1530. Den var oprindeligt blot tænkt som et forhandlingsoplæg, men fik varig betydning som luthersk bekendelse og er et af Den Danske Folkekirkes bekendelsesskrifter.Bogen indeholder en dansk oversættelse af bekendelsens latinske tekst med forklarende noter. Til de første 21 af i alt 28 artikler redegør Leif Grane for de enkelte artiklers teologihistoriske baggrund og sammenhæng. Bogen er således også en indføring i den lutherske reformations hovedtanker.Der er her tale om et uændret fotografisk optryk af 1. oplag fra 1994.
