The Lutheran denomination is considered to be the first Protestant church to form. The main cause for the split from the Catholic Church was Luther's belief in justification by [[faith]] alone. Lutherans believe that the [[Bible]], as a divinely inspired book, is the source of all revealed divine knowledge. Lutherans use a similar liturgical format to those of the Catholics, [[Methodists]] and [[Anglicans]]. Some other characteristics of the Lutheran Church are the use of Luther's Large and Small Catechism as an educational tool, belief in the [[real presence]] in [[communion]] but not [[transubstantiation]], and [[infant baptism]]. Lutheran doctrine is summarized in the [[Book of Concord]], which contains the famous [[Augsburg Confession]].
