The Smalcald Articles
Samenvatting
The Smalcald Articles are a Lutheran doctrinal summary written by Martin Luther in 1537 for a meeting of the Schmalkaldic League. Prepared as part of plans for an intended church council, Luther laid out what he regarded as Christianity’s most essential teachings. At the 1537 meeting, the Articles were not adopted, partly because they raised concerns about increasing division. Despite this, Luther considered the work important enough to include it in his will. Over time, the text was incorporated as a confessional document in the Book of Concord in 1580.
