In this text, Ted Jungkuntz tells the story of the four chief architects of the Formula of Concord, providing fascinating insights into the personal lives of the men who shaped an important part of our Christian heritage. Of special interest is the never-before-translated diary of Nikolaus Selecker, one of the original formulators.

    This is a fascinating journey through the lives of the four men who were chiefly responsible for the Formula of Concord - one of our (Lutheran Church of Australia) confessional documents. It is a time of transition following the death of Luther, with much confusion and misunderstanding amongst the Lutheran pastors and scholars. There is also the growing influence of the Reformed church, as well as political and sociological pressures. So the author gives us the background and insight into the 4 men who are the primary ones chosen to put together the Formula. Thus this book is not really concerned with contents of the Formula, rather is looking at these 4 men: Andreae, Chemnitz, Chytraeus and Selnecker. Whilst I found the author’s approach to be quite generous with all 4 men, he also is quite frank about their weaknesses and struggles. I must admit I came away being quite surprised that these 4 were able to produce such a fine document - and thus we get a glimpse of how God often works not only through us, but in spite us (or at least around us). This book is also a good insight into that period of the Reformation (in Germany) from the 1550s through to the1580s, and I appreciated learning more about that. This book is not just for Lutheran historians, but should be useful for those interested in Reformation History.
