The Annotated Luther, Volume 5

History & Biography

“Luther believed that the Christian life could and should be lived out fully within the world. He taught that rulers, pastors, husbands and wives, business people and craftsmen all served God by fulfilling their responsibilities within their vocations. The Annotated Luther Volume 5 provides contemporary translations of Luther’s treatises on marriage, schools, business and moneylending, soldiers and warfare, and politics as well as his views on the Jews and Turks. Luther’s attempts to relate the Gospel to human activity in all spheres of life all repay careful study, even where they appear dated or wrong. The scholars who translated, introduced and annotated them have done their readers a great service.”
