About this listen

 The Apology of the Augsburg Confession, crafted by Philip Melanchthon during and after the pivotal 1530 Diet of Augsburg, serves as a robust defense against the Pontifical Confutation—an official Roman Catholic response commissioned by Charles V to counter the Lutheran Augsburg Confession of June 25, 1530. This seminal work is not only a defense of the Augsburg Confession but also a critical refutation of the Confutation itself. Signed by prominent Lutheran leaders at the Smalcald League in February 1537, it was later included in both the German (1580) and Latin (1584) editions of the Book of Concord. As the longest document within this collection, it provides the most comprehensive Lutheran response to the Roman Catholic Church of its time, along with an in-depth exposition on the doctrine of Justification.
