Concordia: The Lutheran Confessions presents all of the official texts of the Book of Concord of 1580, plus additional appendices of historic Lutheran writings.  Dr. CFW Walther said of the Book of Concord:

"The Book of Concord should be in every Lutheran home. If a person isn't familiar with this book, he'll think, 'That old book is just for    pastors.      I don't have to preach. After working all day, I can't sit down and study in the evening. If I read my morning and evening devotions, that's enough.' No, that is not enough! The Lord doesn't want us to remain children, blown to and fro by every wind of doctrine; instead of that, He wants us to grow in knowledge so that we can teach others."
