Augsburg Confession Variata

The Augsburg Confession Variata, or Altered Augsburg Confession, is a revised version of the Lutheran Augsburg Confession of 1530, distinguished from the original unaltered edition chiefly by its treatment of the Lord's Supper and Christ's presence in the bread and wine. Philip Melanchthon made a series of changes to the original text in the years after 1530, mostly matters of wording, but in 1540 and 1542 he rewrote parts of Article Ten on the real presence in an effort to reach agreement with Reformed theologians, softening the original statement that Christ's body and blood are there present indeed to a formulation describing them as truly exhibited together with the bread and wine.
