Book of Concord
Proper noun
Meaning
Book of Concord
(religion) The confessions and documents of the Lutheran Church.
Examples
In 1647, the clergy wanted to introduce the Book of Concord ( Swedish Konkordieboken main ) – a book defining correct Lutheranism versus heresy, making some aspects of free theological thinking impossible.
Some Lutheran churches form an exception to this rule, as the Lutheran Book of Concord allows ordination to be received as a sacrament.
The Book of Concord was not introduced.
