Now in a new edition, with additional texts and a companion CD-ROM, Martin Luther's Basic Theological Writings provides a rich and judicious selection of signal texts from the most influential reformer of the Christian tradition. With his most important writings represented here, this volume takes the reader straight to Luther the man, to his controversial Reformation insights, to his strongest convictions about God and Scripture and the life of the church, and most valuably to his theology - a still-exciting encounter with the meaning of Jesus Christ for each age.
