The Princes Who Confessed Christ: The Story of the Augsburg Confession

An emperor summoned the rulers of the Holy Roman Empire to Augsburg. He expected them to explain what was being taught in their churches. The Lutheran princes came prepared—not with armies, but with a confession.

On June 25, 1530, Chancellor Christian Beyer stood before Emperor Charles V and read the Augsburg Confession aloud in German. Behind him stood princes and representatives of cities willing to place their names beneath a clear confession of Christ and His Gospel.

Richly illustrated in a classical historical style, The Princes Who Confessed Christ tells young readers how Christians confessed that sinners are justified freely for Christ’s sake through faith—and that God gives this faith through His Word and Sacraments.
