The development of Martin Luther's thought was both a symptom and moving force in the transformation of the Middle Ages into the modern world. Geographical discovery, an emerging scientific tradition, and a climate of social change had splintered the unity of medieval Christian culture, and these changes provided the background for Luther's theological challenge. His new apprehension of Scripture and fresh understanding of man's relation to God demanded a break with the Church as then constituted and released the powerful impulses that carried the Reformation. Luther's vigorous, colorful language still retains the excitement it had for thousands of his contemporaries. In this volume, Dr. Dillenberger has made a representative selection from Luther's extensive writings, and has also provided the reader with a lucid introduction to his thought.

Classic Luther Texts--Mostly From His Earlier Career

Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2013

Verified Purchase

Dillenberger is a fine collection of classic earlier Luther texts with a few examples from his later career. One will find here the basics of Luther's teaching at a reasonable cost and in an agreeable format. The texts cover both Luther's theological views and his views of reform by for the princes of his day. The text also includes his two most famous sets of theses, The Ninety Five Theses and the Theses for the Hiedelberg Disputation.

Freedom of a Christian Man does a great job of explaining Luther's view of the benefit of the Gospel in the life of the Christian, as well as the life that results.

Some of the writings, such as Bondage of the Will are abridged.

Brief introductions are provided to the various works.

I would like to see the Theses on Scholastic Theology from 1517 included. The writings are uniformly theological, and so do not include some of Luther's sharp and controversial polemics.

I teach Luther courses regularly, and still use this book as it provides the best source based information for the price.

For further reading, I also recommend the Theodore Tappert Volume from the Library of Christian Classics, Luther: Letters of Spiritual Counsel, to go with this volume. One might also productively read Paul Althaus, The Theology of Martin Luther for a more systematized treatment of his theology.

Full of Type O's and errors

Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2021

Verified Purchase

I'm not sure who carried out the digitization of this book but they should be fired. The Kindle version of this book is full of type o's and errors and is not useful for scholarly study. Avoid this version for anything but pleasure reading.

This is a great collection of Martin Luther's important writings

Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2016

Verified Purchase

This is a great collection of Martin Luther's important writings. One must read this book to see where he gets his theology and understanding of grace. I highly recommend reading the Freedom of a Christian, 95 Theses and Secular Authority to see what he had to say. I don't agree with it all but I can see the deep conviction he had with "grace."

An excellent introductory source

Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2011

Verified Purchase

An excellent introduction to Luther's thought - it includes the complete text of the 95 Thesis, and many of Luther's significant theological ideas and conflicts with the Catholic Church. Luther's language is at times scathing, referring to the office of the pope as the "Antichrist." Some basic biographical review is included in this text, as well as many tracts of Luther's writings. Although not a complete introduction to Luther's thoughts, surely it is a vital introductory source.

but it would have been nice to have had it all in one place

Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2017

Verified Purchase

As far as Luther is concerned, these are the highlights of his work. It includes his prefaces to Romans, the German NT, "On Christian Liberty", "The Babylonian Captivity of the Church", "Bondage of the Will", and The 95 Theses. I was helped spiritually by his work, especially "On Christian Liberty".

There are two reasons that I give this work one less than five stars. The first is the print quality. It is indeed readable enough, but it is nonetheless a little splotchy and at a 10-point (or smaller) font, which some readers may find difficult. Overall, this is not my main contention with the book. My main contention is that parts of "Bondage of the Will" were omitted by the editor. I will obviously be acquiring the whole work separately, but it would have been nice to have had it all in one place.

Nevertheless, this was perhaps the best $15 I ever spent, and is a collection I believe every Christian should have in their library and needs to read.

This is a well chosen selection of Luther's writings.

Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2016

Verified Purchase

Aside from John Dillenberger's overly verbose introduction (nearly unreadable to me), this is a well chosen selection of Luther's writings. Despite a tendency to keep beating a point already made, Luther was a clear and accessible writer. The world has much to thank him for.

Great composition

Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2011

Verified Purchase

If you are in the religious field or enjoy religious genre, this is a great historical read. It was recommended by me from a religious historian and has been very insightful concerning the life of Luther BEFORE he penned his infamous thesis.

What was Luther like before he was famous. How was his thesis conjured reflectively from his past? Great questions to know when solidifying your religious understandings.

I bought this book for a timely course on the Reformation taught by an expert. This book was his choice. Great information. Readable. No academic awful writing, but clear.
