Explain the name: "1580 Press"

The year 1580 saw the publication of the Book of Concord, a compilation of several confessional documents.  The followers of the Lutheran Reformation subscribed and adhered to these documents. They include: The Three Ecumenical Creeds, The Augsburg Confession, The Apology (or Defense) of the Augsburg Confession, The Small and Large Catechisms of Martin Luther, The Smalcald Articles, The Treatise on the Power and Primacy of the Pope, and The Formula of Concord.  Many Lutherans today continue to subscribe and adhere to these confessional documents, saying that they are a pure and unadulterated explanation and presentation of the divine Word of God.

Historical primary source materials and translations reflect the opinions of the original authors and translators and are often provided without comment for purposes of academic study.
