Luther's foundational writings, and the obvious place to start in any study of the German Reformer. ( ) I've heard about Martin Luther my entire life, but this is the first chance I've had to read his work. I thoroughly enjoyed his prose. I expect them to be verbose and obscure, full of flowery language. Instead, his writing is clear, concise, direct and easy to understand. He did not shy away from his point or from calling out those he felt were responsible for the grievous errors he saw in the church. His work is cogent and logical and well written. I highly recommend this version of his work for anyone who wished to better understand Luther and his influence and ideas. no reviews | add a review
In these writings Luther tried to frame his ideas in terms that would be comprehensible not only to the clergy but to people from a wide ranfe of backgrounds. To the Christian Nobility of the German Nation is an attack on the corruption of the church and the abuses of its authority, bringing to light many of the underlying reasons for the Reformation. The second treatise, The Babylonian Captivity of the Church, contains Luther's sharp criticism of the sacramental system of the Catholic church. The Freedom of a Christian gives a concise presentation of Luther's position on the doctrine of justification by faith. No library descriptions found. |
