Perhaps no work of Martin Luther's so captures the revolutionary zeal and theological boldness of his vision as The Freedom of a Christian. Yet, it is not easily accessible today. Mark Tranvik's new translation of Luther's treatise brings alive the social, historical, and ecclesial context of Luther's treatise.
Key Features:
An informative Introduction that lays out the context of Luther's writing
A modern, student-friendly translation of the text of Luther's Letter to Pope Leo X and The Freedom of a Christian
Frequent headings to guide the student's reading and comprehension
Student-oriented notes to explain theological controversies and terms
A glossary of key theological and ecclesial terms
A map of Reformation Europe in the 16th Century
Ten black and white illustrations
A short "For Further Reading" list
This is the first of a set of student guides to key Reformation treatises by Martin Luther, concentrating on those most widely used in college settings.
Acerca de los autores:
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.
Mark D. Tranvik is professor of Reformation history and theology at Luther Seminary. His books include Martin Luther and the Called Life (Fortress, 2016).
