Synopsis:

The writings in this first of four volumes of Luther's Works on Word and Sacrament are for the most part from a fifteen year span- from the year of the Leipzig Debate to the publication of Luther's German Bible. All twelve are translated either for the first time or in revised form by the editor.

About the Authors:

E. Theodore Bachmann received his Ph.D. in history from the University of Chicago and has spent more than 50 years in Lutheran church work in the United States and in foreign countries. He has taught at Lutheran seminaries in Chicago, St. Paul, Berkeley, and Sao Paulo, and for five years was on the staff of the Lutheran World Federation in Geneva, Switzerland, as editor of the journal Lutheran World.

Martin Luther stands as one of the most significant figures in Western history. His distinction as the father of the Protestant Reformation is augmented by his innovative use of new technology (the printing press), his translation of the Christian Bible into the vernacular, and his impact upon European society. Born in 1483 to middle-class parents in Saxony, eastern Germany, he became an Augustinian monk, a priest, a professor of biblical literature, a reformer, a husband and father. He died in 1546 after having witnessed the birth of a renewal movement that would result in a profound shift in faith, politics, and society. He has been both praised and vilified for what he preached and wrote. His thought continues to influence all Christians and to animate the movement that bears his name.
