Luther's Works: The American Edition, published by Concordia and Fortress Press between 1955 and 1986, comprises fifty-five volumes. These are a selection representing only about a third of Luther's works in the Latin and German of the standard Weimar Edition, not including the German Bible.Luther set special store by the Gospel According to St. John. He often spoke and wrote of John as the foremost of the evangelists. The tenderness with which the writer of the fourth Gospel sets forth the message of God's love and mercy made a deep and lasting impression on the Reformer. Luther lays special stress on what they evangelist states about the Messiah as the one and only Way to salvation and about good works as the inevitable fruits of that faith. Luther's assaults on those who either misinterpreted or deliberately falsified the Biblical teachings are sharp and devastating. Although he often speaks with the utmost tenderness, he does not hesitate to hurl thunderbolts at those who sought to discredit him and played fast and loose with Scriptural truth. The Reformer's discourses are plain, clear-cut, and logical. He calls John a master in the doctrine of justification.

Martin Luther (* 10. November 1483 in Eisleben, Grafschaft Mansfeld; ¿ 18. Februar 1546 ebenda) war ein deutscher Augustinermönch und Theologieprofessor, der zum Urheber der Reformation wurde. Er sah in Gottes Gnadenzusage und der Rechtfertigung durch Jesus Christus die alleinige Grundlage des christlichen Glaubens. Auf dieser Basis wollte er damalige Fehlentwicklungen der Römisch-katholischen Kirche beseitigen und sie in ihrer ursprünglichen evangelischen Gestalt wiederherstellen (¿re-formieren¿). Entgegen Luthers Absicht kam es im Lauf der Reformation zu einer Kirchenspaltung, aus der evangelisch-lutherische Kirchen und weitere Konfessionen des Protestantismus entstanden.Die Lutherbibel, Luthers Theologie und Kirchenpolitik trugen zu tiefgreifenden Veränderungen der europäischen Gesellschaft und Kultur in der Frühen Neuzeit bei. Nicht zuletzt hat Luther die Entwicklung der neuhochdeutschen Sprache entscheidend beeinflusst.

2023 Reprint of the 1957 Fourth U.S. Edition. Abridged edition by Theodore Graebner. Full facsimile of the original edition and not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. This work is considered Luther's most comprehensive work on justification by faith. Luther's fundamental belief in justification by faith was formed in large part by his interpretation of Galatians. Combined with the passion and faith expressed in these lectures, the biblical foundation for the crucial doctrine of justification is underscored and expressed for all Protestants. The commentary is also a historical document, a recording of a professor in a classroom in 1531 from July to December of that year, which expresses the Reformer's commitment to the good news of Jesus' death in the sinner's place, challenging the reader/hearer to compare St. Paul's theology with what he or she hears in the church today.

" ¿I, CAPTAIN HENRY BELL, do hereby declare, both to the present age, and also to posterity, that being employed beyond the seas in state affairs divers years together, both by King James, and also by the late King Charles, in Germany, I did hear and understand, in all places, great bewailing and lamentation made, by reason of the destroying and burning of above fourscore thousand of Martin Luther¿s books, entitled His Last Divine Discourses.¿For after such time as God stirred up the spirit of Martin Luther to detect the corruptions and abuses of Popery, and to preach Christ, and clearly to set forth the simplicity of the Gospel, many Kings, Princes, and States, Imperial Cities, and Hans-Towns fell from the Popish Religion, and became Protestants, as their posterities still are, and remain to this very day."
