Form of Concord, in ecclesiastical history, a standard-book among the Lutherans, composed at Torgau, in 1576, and thence called the Book of Torgau, and reviewed at Berg by six Lutheran doctors of Germany, the principal of whom was James Andreas. This book contains in two parts, a system of doctrine, the subscription of which was a condition of communion, and a formal and very severe condemnation of all who differed from the compilers of it, particularly with respect to the majesty and omnipresence of Christ's body, and the real manducation of his flesh and blood in the eucharist. It was first imposed on the Saxons by Augustus, and occasioned great opposition and disturbance. The dispute about it was revived in Switzerland in 1718, when the magistrates of Bern published an order for adopting it as the rule of faith; the consequence of which was a contest, that reduced its credit and authority.
