Concordia: The Lutheran Confessions-A Reader's Edition of the Book of Concord

This book is available for pre-order from the publisher, and is expected to be released later this month. From the website of Concordia Publishing House:

Concordia: The Lutheran Confessions is a remarkable new edition of the Book of Concord. For the first time, the Lutheran Confessions are available at an affordable price in a reader’s edition. What does this mean? Concordia offers the lay reader comprehensive resources designed to aid understanding and study of the Book of Concord. It contains comprehensive introductions, thorough annotations and explanation and over 115 black and white and 31 full color plates.

The Book of Concord is the authoritative collection of the Lutheran Church’s statements of faith. It contains documents which Lutheran Christians have used since the sixteenth century to explain, defend, and advance their witness to the truth of God’s Word. The Book of Concord helps Lutherans understand their doctrine and heritage, serves as a standard of doctrinal clarity and unity, and is a faithful witness to the teaching of Holy Scripture.

Concordia: The Lutheran Confessions is an updated edition of the popular Dau/Bente English translation found in the Concordia Triglotta.
