About This Book

This volume gathers English translations of major theological writings by Martin Luther, presenting introductions and translator notes followed by the Disputation on Indulgences (the Ninety-five Theses) and a series of treatises on baptism, confession, consolation, good works, the New Testament, and the papacy. The pieces combine pointed critiques of indulgence practice and papal authority with theological reflections on repentance, sacramental life, and the Christian's relation to law and grace. Editorial apparatus frames each text with historical context and commentary, and the volume includes an index to aid navigation.

About the Author

Luther, Martin portrait

Martin Luther

Martin Luther (1483-1546) was a seminal figure in the Protestant Reformation, known for his theological writings and advocacy for reform within the Catholic Church. His influential works include "A Treatise on Good Works" and "Commentary on the Epistle to the Galatians," which reflect his views on faith, grace, and the authority of scripture. Luther's translation of the Bible into German made the scriptures accessible to the laity, significantly impacting Christian practice and literacy. His "Small Catechism" remains a key text in Lutheran education, emphasizing the importance of personal faith and understanding of Christian doctrine.
