Nothing particularly interesting here unless you are interested in the formation of religious doctrine and the dry bits of religious history (which you’ll have to divine for yourself). Well written, but it is just a formula. In fact, the only reason that I read it I was because I was PLing it for Librivox. The recording is done fantastically.

I'm in the middle of a torrid love affair with the Lutheran confessions, but I won't pretend that this was exactly fuel for the fire. It was a great deal more challenging to read through than many of the other Concordia documents, and it took a lot of effort. That said, I appreciated it, particularly the parts on soteriology toward the end.

Honestly, I prefer the other confessions.
