The Augsburg Confessions lays down the basic beliefs of the early Lutherans with commentary. The actual confession is very simple and to the point. The commentary elaborates and goes into detail, context, etc. I was amazed at the simplicity and conciseness.

If you want the book, DON'T buy the Large Print edition. Although it's cheaper, the print is unclear.

If you want to know what Lutherans teach, then this is a book for you.
I found it useful in my theology studies.

Whether you are a Scandinavian Lutheran who relies solely on the Augsburg Confession or a confessional Lutheran who upholds the entire Book of Concord you will find this to be an extremely helpful introduction to the AC. Grane explains the theology and background behind the terse statements of each article of the AC. Grane was a top notch Luther scholar who has written a work here useful both to entry level seminarians and laity alike. I used this book to teach the theology of the AC in light of Scripture to a group of Lutherans every week for several months.

Excellent Resource.
