LUTHER?S WORKS - VOLUME 27 IBD

Sinopse

About this VolumeThese lectures give eloquent evidence of LutherâÇÖs determined espousal of the doctrine of justification by faith. In 1531, the ReformerâÇÖs position on this cardinal doctrine was identical to what he had set forth in his earlier series of lectures.áEven so, aásharp difference is discernible to a careful reader. The Luther of 1535 has at his command far greater simplicity and pungency of expression than one finds in the work he compiled in 1519. With the passing of the years the Reformer grew in knowledge and exegetical skill. It is not surprising, therefore, that the lectures he delivered at a later period in his life overshadow the former series in popularity as well as in significance. His Lectures on Galatians reflectáthisádevelopment.áAbout the SeriesLutherâÇÖs 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 LutherâÇÖs works in the Latin and German of the standard Weimar Edition, not including the German Bible.
