Book of Concord
Start Here for Delegates
A compact first reading path through central confessional texts for LCMS convention preparation.
How should I use this?
Begin with the center
You do not need to read everything at once. These readings give delegates a faithful entry point into the central confession of Christ, the Gospel, the Church, the Sacraments, and the distinction of Law and Gospel.
What is this?
A short pathway into source text, especially useful when convention questions touch doctrine, ministry, church, Sacraments, or Law and Gospel.

It is provided as a reading and research aid for readers studying the 2026 LCMS convention.

For formal quotation, publication, or academic citation, readers should still verify wording against a trusted edition.
