Luther's 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 Luther's works in the Latin and German of the standard Weimar Edition, not including the German Bible. Luther's expositions of the Sermon on the Mount and the Magnificat are masterpieces. Here Luther speaks about faith, about good works, about prayer, about Christian love, about the giving of alms, about war, about bearing witness to the Truth, about virtues and vices of many kinds. Above all, he stresses the everlasting love of Christ. Luther, always fearless and forthright, becomes bitingly eloquent when he talks about greed-greed as it came, and still comes, to the fore among men, women, and children in every walk of life, among many preachers as well as among many politicians. He writes: "This much is sure: as soon as a preacher or minister becomes greedy, he becomes useless, and his preaching becomes worthless. He has to be cautious; he does not dare to denounce anyone; he lets the donations come in till they stuff his mouth. ... Thus he neglects his duty to denounce the wicked." The Reformer also shows that Mary's canticle has an important message for everyone. His outstanding ability as a linguist and his deep understanding of the Word of God are evident on every page.
Autorenporträt
Jeremy McCandless is on a mission to help people make the study of the Bible part of the rhythm of their daily lives. He does this by helping people to study God's Word by communicating it in a way that helps people connect with it in a relevant and meaningful way. Mainly through his preaching and podcast ministry. He also now does this by adapting some of the most famous classic Christian books for the modern reader. The goal is to enable a new generation to learn from the wisest and greatest Christian thinkers who have gone before us. Taking the knowledge contained in these classic books and making it accessible to today's readers to allow the ideas within to be expressed in a way that is coherent with the present day. This has led Jeremy to adapt various classic Christian texts into the modern form, hopefully reviving them for future generations. Not just making them easier to read, and much more understandable for the contemporary reader. His background is as a Christian Preacher, Church Pastor, writer, and Podcaster. He has been a Christian for over 50 years growing up amongst Christians who themselves were influenced by, Luther, Calvin, and Wesley and Spurgeon. He has had various leadership roles and has pastored a church of the Baptist denomination in the Northwest of England alongside as a wide experience and influence ministering across all shades of Christianity. Recently with his daily podcast. The "Bible Project Daily Podcast" a 10-year project to teach through the entire Bible, chapter by chapter, verse by verse. It is in year three of its 10-year plan. It is listened to everyday by 100,000's of people around the world in over 170 Countries. Galatians is considered a seminal work in Christian theology and as a result, numerous translations of his commentary have been published over the centuries, allowing readers from different linguistic backgrounds to engage with Luther's profound insights. His growing up and being in Christian ministry in a society and culture heavily influenced by the reformation has been invaluable to this endeavour. I trust this project enables people to gain insights into Luther's theological thinking, particularly his concept of justification by faith alone. By making Luther's insights accessible to a wider modern audience, I hope this book fostered a deeper understanding of his theological thought and its significance for the Christianity.
