"Die Augsburger Confession" by Philipp Melanchthon is a confession of faith presented in 1530. Written in both German and Latin, this document was presented by German rulers at the Diet of Augsburg to Emperor Charles V, who sought to restore religious unity in the Holy Roman Empire. The confession contains 28 articles outlining Lutheran beliefs and criticizing Catholic practices. It became the primary confessional document of the Lutheran Church and one of the most important texts of the Protestant Reformation. (Summary by Project Gutenberg, written by machine.)
