The Annotated Luther : The Roots of Reform Volume 1, Hardback Book

The Annotated Luther : The Roots of Reform Volume 1 Hardback

Edited by Timothy J. Wengert

Hardback

Description

Volume 1 of The Annotated Luther series contains writings that defined the roots of reform set in motion by Martin Luther, beginning with the 95 Theses (1517) through The Freedom of a Christian (1520).

Included are treatises, letters, and sermons written from 1517-1520, which set the framework for key themes in all of Luther's later works.

Also included are documents that reveal Luther's earliest confrontations with Rome and his defense of views and perspectives that led to his excommunication by Leo X in 1520.

These documents display a Luther grounded in late medieval theology and its peculiar issues, trained in the latest humanist methods of the Renaissance, and, most especially, showing sensitivity toward the pastoral consequences for theological positions and church practice.

Each volume in The Annotated Luther series contains new introductions, as well as annotations, illustrations, and notes to help shed light on Luther's context and interpret his writings for today.

The translations of Luther's writings include updates of Luther's Works, American Edition or entirely new translations of Luther's German or Latin writings.
