Luther's writings with footnotes and introductions

Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2013

Verified Purchase

This book has helped me understand the theological basis for many of Luther's problems with the church of his day. Through this understanding, I am able to critically assess the church of today. Several of the articles form a strong foundation for Christian Ethics from a Lutheran Perspective.

Nice collection of Luther's writings

It's a great collection of Martin Luther's writing. The only problem with the product is that the CD-ROM isn't Mac compatible. I bought it for a class so I didn't really have a choice, but being a Mac user I was disappointed that once again the Mac users are ignored by the academic world.

This is the second edition - with the CD-ROM. The CD is readable on Windows systems only, not Mac OS. I don't know if the third edition is available with a CD or not.

A great introduction to the basic theological writings of Martin Luther!

Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2008

When I take a moment to consider the sheer volume of writings completed by Martin Luther during his lifetime, I can only imagine the difficulty I would face in trying to narrow down which writings to include in a volume of this length. Timothy F. Lull & William Russel faced this task head on and put together a great collection of Luther's basic theological writings. Lull had a two-fold focus in the first edition. He wanted to include Luther's most important shorter writings and demonstrate the range of Luther's theological interests. Russel expands the focus a bit in the second edition by adding some of Luther's personal writings, which give the reader further insight into Luther's religious life and personal commitments. The writings in this book are organized topically and are presented in seven parts:

Part I: Luther the Man
Part II: The Task of Theology
Part III: The Power of the Word of God
Part IV: The Righteousness of God
Part V: The Promise of the Sacraments
Part VI: The Reform of the Church
Part VII: Living and Dying As a Christian

For the benefit of those who may want to read these works in chronological order, the works in this volume are listed by order of composition year at the end of the table of contents.

As expected, this volume contains many of the familiar writings we associate with Luther, some in whole and others in part. (The Ninety-Five Theses, The Bondage of the Will, The Small Catechism, The Smalcald Articles, etc.) Most of these were familiar to me. I was most excited about the writings I was less familiar with in Part I: Luther The Man, especially Luther's will, selections from table talk and selected personal letters. These writings help to present a more personal side to Martin Luther that is sometimes lost in biographies and other academic works.

In addition to Luther's writings, there are several other things to note about this great volume. As you work through this book, you'll notice a number of the title pages from Luther's theological works in German, which have been reprinted here for your enjoyment. These title pages are quite beautiful and are in and of themselves art. There's a lot of symbolism in these pictures, so be sure to take the time to look them over. For those of you who want to do further study of Luther, there is a selected bibliography that comes before chapter one. It covers the following subject areas: 1. Primary Documents, 2. Bibliographies, 3. Martin Luther: Biography, 4. Martin Luther: Theology. The final feature I'd like to make note of is the CD-ROM that comes with the book. The CD-ROM is compatible with the Libronix Digital Library System from LOGOS Bible Software. It contains the full text of this book, a short biography of Luther, links to other resources, a research-paper guide, and a glossary.

Whether you're a layperson, theology student, pastor or a professor this book is a must for your library. The range of material covered will serve as a great introduction to the theological writings of Martin Luther. This book by itself is a great value. The Libronix-compatible CD is a bonus, allowing you to add this great work to both your print and digital library for one reasonable price.

Timothy F. Lull, editor, was President of Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary, Berkley, and Professor of Systematic Theology there before his death in 2003.

William Russell is author of Luther's Theological Testament and translator of The Schmalkald Articles in The Book of Concord.

Great one volume tool

Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2007

This work is a great compilation of the works of Luther. It is fair and and also a great start in understanding and reading Luther's works. The one thing that I really like about the editor is that he gives a small introduction to each writing, the when and why the particular writing was written.

The book starts off with Luther's major theologies in the 97 Theses, 95 Theses and the Heidelberg Disputation. This compilation of the 97 theses was nice to see since it is so unfamiliar to most people but was Luther's first cry against Aristotle's theology. Most people have heard of Luther's famous quote, "Reason is a whore!," well the 97 Theses: Disputation against Scholastic Theology, gives you the full reasoning for this cry.

The book then materializes Luther's thoughts on the Power of the Word of God, The righteousness in Christ (which includes excerpts of his famous work, The Bondage of the Will), The promise of the Sacraments, The Reform of the Church, and the living and dying as a Christian. These are all done as not only formal works but also in some of his sermons.

I would definitely recommend this book as it will start the reader off on the right foot of Luther's theology and then you can decide where you would like to find further insight.

Good Basic Overview of Luther

Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2005

The reason Luther remains a puzzle to some is that his theology did have development. This book has selections from all periods of his career. When you get to "The Babylonian Captivity of the Church," there can be no question as to where he stands-- also with the "Smalcald Articles. This book does have some summaries and explanations at the beginning of sections that explain the historic background. A good summary of the 55 volume "American Edition."
