"The Bible is alive," declared Martin Luther, "it speaks to me; it has feet, it runs after me; it has hands, it lays hold of me." The Protestant Reformation's most prominent leader possessed a gift for evocative speech, and he was as articulate and outspoken in private as he was in public. Fortunately for posterity, some of Luther's loyal followers took note of his informal speeches. The Table Talk of Martin Luther consists of excerpts from the great...

The place and significance of Martin Luther in the long history of Christian anti-Jewish polemic has been and continues to be a contested issue. The literature on the subject is substantial, and diverse. While efforts to exonerate Luther as "merely" a man of his times who "merely" perpetuated what he had received from his cultural and theological tradition have rightly been jettisoned, there still persists even among the educated public the perception...

Der Kleine Katechismus ist eine kurze Schrift, die Martin Luther 1529 verfasst hat. In manchen lutherischen Kirchen stellt er nach wie vor die Lehrgrundlage für den Konfirmandenunterricht dar. Der kleine Katechismus will als Einführung in den christlichen Glauben verstanden sein.

As controversy concerning his writings grew, Luther was, instructed to write a reconciliation-minded letter to Pope Leo X (1475-1521). To this letter, he appended a nonpolemical tract describing the heart of his beliefs, The Freedom of a Christian. Luther's Latin...

Second, against Erasmus, who had maintained that the question of free will could not be, decided just on the basis of the Bible, Luther stressed the clarity imbedded in Scripture. Third, Luther stressed, that his...

Starting with the Ninety-Five Theses in 1517, Luther's appeals for reform had been, addressed to the ecclesiastical hierarchy, whose divinely imposed responsibility for such things he took for granted. By the early months of 1520, however, Luther had come to the conclusion, that nothing...
