The Annotated Luther, Volume 5

History & Biography

“Judiciously selected and expertly introduced by leading scholars, the works in this volume reveal Luther’s views on a wide range of themes pertaining to Christian life in the world—from marriage to war to interactions with Turks and Jews. The writings presented here rank among Luther’s most important and profound works—as well as, sometimes, his most disturbing. With helpful introductions that illuminate the contexts in which Luther wrote, no other single volume offers a better starting point for students, pastors, and all readers interested in how Luther confronted the ever-present question, 'How is the Christian to live in society?'”

History & Biography

“Volker Leppin's studies of Martin Luther's "mystical roots" and "transformations" of medieval mystical traditions have challenged our historical understanding of the reformer and have major implications for the further development of the Lutheran tradition. This volume makes a judicious selection of Leppin's essays available in English and will be welcome and thought-provoking reading for anyone interested in Luther's theology.”
