Making Sense Of Confessionalism Today, Joel Okamoto
Concordia Journal
Okamoto states that problems with confessionalism come from taking the Confessions for granted.

This would be a way to appropriate the confessions as confessions, not merely as doctrinal standards, and would be a constructive rather than defensive approach.
