Böcker av Martin Luther

Von der Freyheith eines Christenmenschen ist der Titel einer aus 30 Thesen bestehenden Denkschrift Martin Luthers aus dem Jahr 1520. Das Werk Luthers gehört zu seinen bedeutendsten Schriften zur Reformationszeit. Anlass für die Schrift war die gegen Martin Luther gerichtete päpstliche Bannbulle. Im Mittelalter galt das Christentum als heilige Ordnung, welche jedem Menschen einen festen, von Gott vorbestimmten Platz zuordnete. Die Kirche als Ganzes hatte zwar laut dem Evangelium die Freiheit, diese Ordnung im Wesentlichen nach eigenem Gutdünken festzulegen (im Gegensatz zur Bindung an ein detailliertes göttliches Gesetz, wie es das Judentum kannte). Der einzelne Mensch aber hatte sich in diese Ordnung einzufügen. Nur durch die Einfügung in die Ordnung und die Erfüllung vielfältiger, von der Kirche definierter formaler Pflichten hatte der Christ gemäß der bis dahin verbindlichen Rechtfertigungslehre Teil am Heil Christi. Damit wirkte Religion der individuellen irdischen Freiheit direkt entgegen und verwies lediglich auf ein jenseits besseres, gerechtfertigtes Leben bei Gott. Martin Luther setzte dieser Sichtweise radikal die den Schriften des Paulus entnommene Auffassung entgegen, dass der Christenmensch gerade im Hier und Jetzt frei sein müsse. Luther begründet dies damit, dass der Mensch nicht durch Taten, sondern allein durch den Glauben gerechtfertigt sei. Allerdings hatte auch Paulus christlichen Sklaven dazu geraten, sich nicht gegen (christliche) Herren zur Wehr zu setzen, da wahre Freiheit nur im Glauben an Jesus Christus zu finden sei. Martin Luther (1483-1546) war der theologische Urheber der Reformation.

This book contains Martin Luther's timeless commentary upon the Epistle to the Galatians in its entirety.First published in 1538, this thorough examination of the ancient manuscript sees Luther provision his own informed interpretation of the words within. The painstaking commentary embarked upon by Luther is today recognised as one of his finest contributions to theological thought. All chapters and verses receive close examination, with the author explaining and clarifying each to the reader. From our vantage point in the 21st century, we may witness how Martin Luther's visitation led to the Epistle of the Galatians popular reintroduction as an important Christian work. Owing to the-then recent invention of the printing press, this and many other religious texts gained a wide and swift distribution. Most notably in Martin Luther's case was his translation of the entire Bible from the Latin, which duly acquired an unprecedented audience throughout Europe and beyond.

The Sermon von Ablass und Gnade (Sermon on Indulgences and Grace) is a seminal text for the Reformation: it is the first vernacular statement of Luther's views on the question which led to his break with Rome; the first printed work of his to reach a mass audience; and the first example of the direct, arresting style which became the hallmark of his German writings. The work hit the market 500 years ago, in the second half of March 1518, five months after the posting of the 95 Theses, and within three years at least 24 editions had been printed in various parts of Germany and Switzerland. The volume is based on two of these editions, copies of which are held in the Taylor Institution Library: Arch. 8° G. 1518 (5), printed by Pamphilus Gengenbach in Basel, and Arch. 8° G. 1518 (6), printed by Valentin Schumann in Leipzig. It presents a guide to the theological, historical, material, linguistic, and stylistic importance of this work.The Sermon rejects scholastic teaching about indulgences and proposes instead a theology of grace. Luther meant the Sermon as an accessible summary of his views, and for the modern reader it is still the most succinct account of Luther's side in the indulgence controversy, serving as an introduction to the more technical 95 Theses which are also included in Latin, a new English translation by Howard Jones, and explanatory footnotes in this edition. The theological and historical context of the Sermon and 95 Theses is complex and dates back centuries before the actual texts. Martin Keßler explains this background and provides an evaluation of both works in 'Theological and Historical Background'.This volume includes a side-by-side facsimile of the two Taylorian copies on facing pages which is complemented by a digital reconstruction of the broadsides from which they were printed, available with all content of the book on editions.mml.ox.ac.uk, prepared by Emma Huber. The printed text is based on the Leipzig edition and a new translation into modern English by Howard Jones. Henrike Lähnemann offers a detailed guide to the book-history in 'The Taylorian Copies' (including an analysis of the woodcuts in the Basel edition and the marginalia added to the Taylorian copy of the Leipzig edition), a preview to the follow-up pamphlets in the debate, and an account of the acquisition history by Christina Ostermann.
