Volume 4 of The Annotated Luther series presents an array of
Luther’s writings related to pastoral work. Luther’s famous
Invocavit Sermons and other selected sermons show a forthright and
lively preacher. Hymn texts reveal Luther’s grasp of hymnody as a
tool for conveying and expressing faith. His Small Catechism as well
as several pieces on prayer, including his Personal Prayer Book and A
Simple Way to Pray, show his engagement in the basic task of teaching
the faith. Luther’s prefaces to his own writings contain personal
reflections on his reforming work. Also in this volume are his
commentary on The Magnificat, selected letters, and shorter pieces
that display his pastoral responses to particular situations: Sermon
on Preparing to Die, Whether One May Flee from a Deadly Plague, and
Comfort for Women Who Have Had a Miscarriage.
Each volume in The Annotated Luther series contains new introductions,
annotations, illustrations, and notes to help shed light on Luther’s
context and interpret his writings for today. The translations of
Luther’s writings include updates of Luther’s Works, American
Edition or entirely new translations of Luther’s German or Latin
writings.
