Produced by Kurt A. T. Bodling, Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, Class of 1980 "Historical Introductions to the Symbolical Books of the Evangelical Lutheran Church" by F. Bente is an academic publication focused on Lutheran theology, likely written in the late 19th century. The work delves into the historical context, significance, and development of the Book of Concord, which serves as the foundational document for Lutheran beliefs and practices. The book provides a comprehensive exploration of various Lutheran confessions, their origins, and their influence on the Church. The opening section sets the stage for a detailed discussion on the symbols recognized and published by the Lutheran Church, framing the term 'symbol' in the context of Christian doctrine as a means of identification and confession of faith. It outlines the significance of the Book of Concord, its subsequent historical editions, and the distinction between ecumenical symbols acknowledged throughout Christendom and those specific to various Lutheran denominations. This introduction serves as a foundational overview of Lutheran confessional writings, establishing both their theological importance and their historical context within the broader Christian tradition.
