The unaltered 1580 edition, because it was free of political and theological compromise.

Great, now I have to learn German! haha

Is there a translation you would recommend?

Two actually; the first is a great English translation, with lots of notes and references for context; The second contains three columns on each page one is the English translation with notes, the other two are the original German and Latin versions:

Concordia: The Lutheran Confessions-A Readers Edition of the Book of Concord - 2nd edition

Concordia Triglotta

I'm not sure why the links did not attach, but I have been experiencing a lot of Glitches lately: http://search.cph.org/search#p=R&w=...sc=OatDG4HHWEM3f3L6&asug=Triglotta&apelog=yes

There is a pretty good translation put out by AF, but with both a LCMS and ELCA translator. One thing I like about it is that translates the Confession from both the German and Latin versions that were presented. www.amazon.com/Book-Concord-Confessions-Evangelical-Lutheran/dp/0800627407

I don't understand, is there a material difference in the teachings of the one for sale on Amazon in the link below and the original German/Latin versions?

Not much, but two different audiences, two different emphisies.

Just trying to give some life to the forum...

I have the CPH Readers Edition and am working my way through it, the book is a treasure. The leather binding and gilded edges are lovely.

Excellent, thank you

Any examples you might want to share how it enlightened your understanding of scripture and/or strengthened your faith?

I have not made it through a ton, but so far the explanation of the creeds and their ties to scripture as well as the history of the Lutheran church and the BOC have been delightful to read.

The bound in red edition translated by Tappert, is a good translation, not to big, easy to read. Concordia 2nd edition is a good choice as well. The only issue with the Concordia is it's heavy, quit thick, and and does not lay in your lap well. The readers edition is smaller.

Yeah, I would have to say, this is my favorite edition. I have a couple others, and they great, but the Concordia edition is beautifully illustrated, really nicely laid out, and just a lovely publication overall.

Meanwhile, Concordia's BoC website is well worth checking out: http://www.bookofconcord.org
