Martin Luther Luther's Works - Volume 18: (Lectures on Minor Prophets I)

Luthers Works The American Edition, published by Concordia and Fortress Press between 1955 and 1986, comprises fiftyfive volumes. These are a selection representing only about a third of Luthers works in the Latin and German of the standard Weimar Edition, not including the German Bible. Luthers lectures on the minor prophets are hardly minor. In fact, they are so prolific as to require three volumes. The first, HoseaMalachi, is compiled from the socalled Altenburg manuscript, and complemented with a Zwickau manuscript and a Wittenburg manuscript. These pieces put together present a complete set of commentaries on these minor prophets. These lectures occupied Luthers lecture time at the university for about two years, March 1524 to early spring 1526. At this time Luther was decried the source of all problems concerning the Reformation movement. But as responsibilities, anxieties, enmities, and threats increased, Luthers confidence in the message of Scripture also rose to meet every test. These lectures reflect the crucible in Luthers life during their deliverance. Just as these lectures give insight into these minor prophets, so do they reveal the life of this lecturer at this defining moment in the Reformation movement.
