(Notes for Readers, PLEASE READ BEFORE PURCHASING: This book is in English, German, and Latin, and was prepared from a scan. The entirety of the Concordia Triglotta has been republished here as two volumes, due to Lulu's 800 page limit. Since Lulu uses pages thicker than what the traditional Triglotta would have, this volume is about 1.5 inches thick. These two volumes of the Triglotta are meant to be a hardcover alternative to CPH's current paperback publishing of the Triglotta. Their advantage is that they are hardcover and have a comparable price to CPH's Triglotta, while their disadvantage is that they are considerably thicker and are slightly less readable.)
The Concordia Triglotta, published in 1921 for the Quadricentenary Jubilee of the Reformation in 1917, provides the Lutheran Confessions in English, German, and Latin. As more modern editions have been published throughout the years, Triglot Concordias have become a neglected version of the Book of Concord. Although there have been select reprints, any copies available today for purchase are either difficult to find, expensive to buy, or too flimsy to use. This is the reason for the publication of these volumes.
This volume is part of a greater series entitled 'Fathers of Lutheran Orthodoxy.' The purpose of this series is to present great works of Lutheranism with a focus on the era of Lutheran Orthodoxy, although it also includes prominent works of the 19th and 20th centuries as well.
For too long, the rich theology of Lutheranism's past has been limited to libraries' rare book rooms and cumbersome online PDFs. Therefore, this series endeavors to take public domain books of the Lutheran confession and to make them available for anyone who desires these works in the form of a physical print. This series is meant to include mostly original Latin works, but some works may be in German and even in English. The final goal is to create both accessibility and interest for studying and reading the works of Lutheran Orthodoxy, with the hope of creating renewed interest in scholars one day translating the rich theology of Lutheranism.
