This searchable reader is built from a public-domain / publicly licensed PDF of the Book of Concord. It is provided as a reading and research aid for readers studying the 2026 LCMS convention. The Book of Concord text is source/library material, not AI commentary and not official LCMS convention material. For formal quotation, publication, or academic citation, readers should still verify wording against a trusted edition.
At 3:07 each day, remember John 15:7 and pray for Christ's Church, the convention, our leaders, and the work of the Gospel among us.
