DOWNLOAD EBOOKAbout this Volume Luther's collected sermons for the church year were originally published in two series: the Church Postil and the House Postil. These were among his most popular works. Aside from his catechisms, they did more to teach people the Reformation than any other book. The new translation of the Church Postil follows the last edition of Luther's life, from 1540-1544, and includes Luther's often-extensive revisions to his own work, with significant variant readings from earlier editions translated in the footnotes. This volume includes the sermons on the Epistle and Gospel readings from New Year through Holy Week, plus "Meditation on the Holy Suffering of Christ" and "Sermon on Confession and the Sacrament." The appendix contains Luther's prefaces to earlier editions of the Church Postil. All the sermons include footnotes indicating Luther's edits over the course of his life, all rendered in clear, lucid English. Benefits of Luther's Works, American Edition, vol. 76 (Church Postil II): Accurate and clear translation. (An early 20th-century version of these sermons was inaccurate and stilted.) Presents the Church Postil as the mature Luther wanted it to be: Includes Luther's often-extensive revisions to his own work, with significant variant readings from earlier editions translated in the footnotes. Includes the version of the summer sermons that Luther approved (Cruciger's edition, not Roth's edition). Epistles and Gospels are interspersed as they were originally printed, showing the progression of Luther's teaching through the course of the church year. (The early 20th-century Lenker version followed the revisionist 1700 edition of Philipp Jakob Spener, not Luther's mature, final edition of 1540 and 1544.) Includes the careful, explanatory introductions and footnotes that have become a hallmark of Luther's Works: American Edition. Includes cross-references and a table showing where Luther's sermons can be found in the German originals. Fully indexed. Edited by Benjamin T.G. Mayes and James L. Langebartels. About the Series The 28 planned new volumes are intended to reflect both modern and sixteenth-century interests and to expand the coverage of genres underrepresented in the existing volumes, such as Luther's sermons and disputations. The primary basis for the translation is the comprehensive Weimar edition.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAbout this Volume This volume completes the Church Postil, bringing forth Luther's sermons on Epistle and Gospel texts from the Eleventh Sunday after Trinity to the end of the Church Year, plus Luther's sermons on Ephesians 6:10-17, which have never before been translated and were previously omitted from the Church Postil. Luther's preaching in the Summer Postil, as edited by Caspar Cruciger, is mostly didactic and hortatory. His sermons are often expository, explaining the biblical text verse by verse, and sometimes topical, teaching subjects that the biblical text mentions. In both cases, his preaching sticks close to the Bible. As a result, his sermons present the Law and the Gospel in manifold ways and succeed in avoiding formulaic expressions and clichés. In this work, Luther admonishes and teaches his hearers constantly, but he also consoles their consciences. He does this in accord with the text he is preaching. In all cases, God reveals Himself as the believer's loving Father. The basis of this loving, paternal relationship is the mediation of the Son, Jesus Christ, in terms of His obedience to God's Law, bearing His people's sins, taking God's wrath upon Himself, His suffering and death, and interceding for His people. Luther emphasizes that the results of this Gospel are real. Believers are improved in heart, mind, and behavior. Christians begin to conform to God's will and Law, and they even partake of the divine nature. Over and over, Luther describes the Christian life as a struggle between faith and doubt, or between faith and other vices, or between the believer and the devil. Luther has been characterized as the man between God and the devil, and the same thing could be said about his postil sermons. Here Luther is a theologian of the church militant, battling Satan's temptations in the hearts of his hearers using God's weapons-most especially the Spirit-bestowing Word of God. About the Series The 28 planned volumes are intended to reflect both modern and sixteenth-century interests and to expand the coverage of genres underrepresented in the existing volumes of Luther's Works, such as Luther's sermons and disputations.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAbout the Volume This volume brings forth Luther's sermons on Epistle and Gospel texts in the historic one-year lectionary series from the Festival of the Holy Trinity through the Tenth Sunday after Trinity. Additionally, this collection features Luther's sermons on 1 John 4:16-21, never before translated and previously omitted from the Church Postil. Readers will gain new insight from Luther's topics for preaching, including: the time between death and resurrection in his sermon on the Gospel for Trinity 1 warnings about impenitence in the Gospel on the destruction of Jerusalem for Trinity 10 insightful teaching about the role of God's Law in the lives of believers in the Gospels for Trinity 3 and Trinity 5 clear teaching on how to distinguish Law and Gospel in the Gospel for Trinity 5 Few other books communicated the Gospel to Luther's contemporaries so powerfully as Luther's Church Postil (sermons for the church year). Now for the first time, Luther's authorized, final edition of the Church Postil, edited originally by Caspar Cruciger for the summer half of the year, is presented here in clear English. In 1535, Luther wrote to a friend, "Concerning the [earlier version of the] postil, you have more respect for it than I do. I would like the whole book to be destroyed. And this is what I am doing: I am entrusting to Dr. Caspar Cruciger the work of re-editing the whole into a new and better form, which would be of benefit to the whole Church everywhere. He is the sort of man, unless love deceives me, who will correspond to Elisha, if I were Elijah (if one may compare small things with great), a man of peace and quiet, to whom I shall commend the church after [I depart] ..."
