Concordia: The Lutheran Confessions
Overview
Nothing is more important than clearly confessing and bearing witness to the truths of God’s Holy Word which reveal the glorious Gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. This is what the Book of Concord is all about. This edition of the Concordia: The Lutheran Confessions will instruct, inspire, and educate all who use it and help them learn what it means to be, and to remain, a genuinely confessing Lutheran Christian.
Concordia: The Lutheran Confessions is a remarkable achievement in Lutheran publishing. In 800 pages, the reader will find helpful introductions, insightful notes and annotations, and helpful tools and guides to aid reading and comprehension. The dramatic history and heroic persons associated with the various documents in the Lutheran Confessions are brought to life. The second edition offers several significant improvements.

If you’re looking for an edition of the Book of Concord to buy, this is the one. This is the version that CPH put out in 2005, and has the fantastic articles to help provide context interspersing the faithful translation. This should be the version of the BoC that Logos provides in every base package containing it, and as it is not, it’s a must-have for any Lutheran or anyone interested in Lutheran theology.

This is a rich theological resource. A few years ago, our pastor led a small group of us in reading through the volume using the book's built-in reading plan. Putting the concepts together in a systematic way and using the historical information that sets the writings in historical context gave me my greatest one-year increase in understanding Christianity through a Lutheran perspective. I wonder if anybody has ever put the book's reading plan into a format that would allow a reader to just click on the day and have the readings come up. What a boon that would be!
