Synopsis

English edition of Dr. Herrmann schief work has long been desired, and this opportunity is taken of making certain corrections in the original translation, and also of incorporating into the English version, in accordance with the authors frequently expressed wish, the numerous additions and alterations of the later German editions, amounting to nearly a tenth part of the whole book. The arrangement in chapters and paragraphs which was made for the former edition has been entirely discarded, and Dr. Herrmann sown new summary and division, which appear in the fourth German edition, have been followed exactly. In issuing this edition of the work of one whose spoken words were to me, as to all his students, an inspiration, and whose influence has been so wide and deep in this country as well as in Germany, I would associate myself with the words of Mr. Stanyon in his introductory note to the first edition :T his translation is an attempt to place before English readers the work of one of the most distinguished living theologians of Germany, and the translator has felt honoured in being allowed thus to acknowledge the deep debt of gratitude he owes to the author.

About the Author

Martin Luther (1483, 1546) was a German monk, a theologian and church reformer, he is considered to be the founder of Protestantism. Luther was a professor of Bible at the University of Wittenberg when he posted his famous 95 Theses (1517). In addition to writing many books, Luther translated the Bible into German. Luther believed that salvation was only by faith in Jesus, unmediated by the church. He challenged papal authority by emphasing the Bible as the only source of religious authority and believed the church to be a priesthood of all believers.These ideas helped to inspire the Protestant Reformation and changed the course of Western civilization. He married Katharina von Bora thus initiating the practice of clerical marriage within Protestantism.- Publisher.
