Martin Luther Luther's Works - Volume 13 : (Selected Psalms II) Hardcover Book

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. From Luthers thoroughgoing expositions of Psalms 68, 82, 90, 101, 110, 111, and 112 it is evident at once that the Reformer had a keen insight into secular and ecclesiastical affairs as they existed in his time. But it is no less apparent that his understanding and his statements had a prophetic qualitya quality which, among other characteristics, makes his commentaries altogether timeless in their significance. "The commentaries in the present volume," writes editor Jaroslav Pelikan, "like those in Volume 12, are derived principally from Luthers classroom and from his pulpit but they do not all owe their origin to his activity as a professor and a preacher. This collection of commentaries also provides some insight into Luthers work as an author." From explication of the religious and moral life of his day to the elucidation of differences between Jewish and Protestant interpretations of Psalm 111, Luthers literary breadth and depth provide the reader with an unrivaled uniqueness of commentary on these Psalms. | Martin Luther Luther's Works - Volume 13 : (Selected Psalms II) Hardcover Book
