Faith and Freedom: An Invitation to the Writings of Martin Luther is the first selection in decades for the general reader from the many dozens of volumes that constitute Martin Luther’s collected works. The selections included here, chosen for their pastoral tone, speak across the centuries and inform the spiritual concerns of today.Drawing on Luther’s Bible prefaces and commentaries, his treatises and sermons, his letters, his “table talk,” and his enduring hymnbook, Faith and Freedom will provide a spiritual resource for anyone seeking the heritage of modern Christian spirituality. Moreover, it requires no specialized knowledge of Reformation theology or Church history. Rich in language, direct, powerful, fresh in ideas, and often disquieting in their effect, the writings of Luther provide compelling reading. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

Having never read much Luther except for his Small Catechism, and several biographies about him, I was surprised how easily I could read his actual writings. They are accessible, easy to grasp. I expected a high-falutin’ dissertation, but no, I was pleasantly surprised. He quotes the Bible so frequently or mentions Jesus’ preachings and activities so often that I felt amongst familiar thoughts and ideas all the way through.
If you want to know what Luther wrote, this is a very good book to begin with. It gives us a clear idea of how bright he was, what a church service might have been like had he been the preacher for the day, or what a conversation around his dining table might have been like for his young proteges.
