Commentary on Galatians (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

In "Commentary on Galatians," Martin Luther expounds Paul's epistle with an insight, power, and depth of emotion which is sorely lacking in modern commentaries. From the very first page of this book, Luther cuts to the heart of the epistle-the doctrine of justification-in the way that only he can. His bold words and plain-sense interpretations result in a work filled with much of the same force and passion that characterized the epistle itself. The grace of God and the love of Jesus Christ cling to every word like the scent of a precious perfume. The theology expounded in this book is the very essence of the gospel as understood by the one who "rediscovered" the all-important doctrines of faith and grace. Readers will find in these pages a plain declaration of the power and wisdom of God.

A German professor of theology in the 1500's, Martin Luther is considered to be the father of the Protestant Reformation. In 1517, Luther wrote his iconic "95 Theses" in opposition to the sale of indulgences as a "paid for" forgiveness of sin. Thanks to the invention of the printing press, Luther's points of contention, as explained in the "theses," spread across and impacted Europe in record time. When the pope and Emperor Charles V urged Martin Luther to recant, he refused. As a result, he was excommunicated and declared to be an outlaw. Today he is remembered for sparking the Protestant Reformation, making the Bible accessible to the common people through his German translation, rediscovering the great truth of salvation through faith alone, setting an example of marriage for the clergy, and founding the Lutheran Church (among other accomplishments).This edition of Martin Luther's classic includes the introduction by Theodore Graebner.

Burkholder Media Classics "Of making many books there is no end" (Ecclesiastes 12:12). Everywhere we look we can find books. Hardly is there a place, whether in the home, in the shop, in the workplace, in the museum, or in the religious institution, where we do not find some type of literature. And like Solomon said, "of making many books there is no end." It was true in his day, and it is true in our day. And this is why Burkholder Media has undertaken the task of reprinting Public Domain works that have been written and preserved through the ages. Public Domain books are not under copyright stipulations, and can be distributed freely without permission from the original publisher. But in so doing, Burkholder Media takes every effort to giver proper credit to whom credit is due. Therefore, these reprints retain all pertinent information to acknowledge the original authors and publishers. There is no lack of books being written today, and many good books can be found among this plethora of writing. And yet, there is something special about old books, books that have stood the test of time. This does not mean all old books are good books. In fact, many of the books that have been preserved throughout history are not fit for the Christian mind. Many of them are of little use to the Christian, and as a company, Burkholder Media has undertaken the task of reprinting only those books of value to the Christian mind. Burkholder Media appreciates any and all feedback from our readers. We strive toward excellency, not only in the layout of our books, but also in the character of our books. Everything we do, we do to the glory of God. May He alone be glorified for any and all good that may come from this project of reprinting books that the whole family can be edified wherewith and strengthened in their Christian faith.
