Quick Summary

The Confessio Tetrapolitana was a confession of faith drafted in 1530 by Martin Bucer and Wolfgang Fabricius Capito. It was submitted by five southern German cities to Emperor Charles V at the Diet of Augsburg. This confession aimed to articulate the theological positions of these cities within the broader context of the Reformation. Unlike the more widely known Augsburg Confession, which was primarily authored by Philipp Melanchthon, the Confessio Tetrapolitana represented a distinct theological perspective from the Lutheran movement.123
