" A Formula for Parish Practice" combines a rich description of the history of the Lutheran Formula of Concord (1577) with experiences in today's Lutheran parishes to demonstrate how confessional texts may still come to life in modern Christian congregations. Traditionally used as theological ammunition, Wengert takes the "Formula of Concord" back to its historical home, the local congregation, giving pastors, students, and theologians a glimpse into the original debates over each article.
