Volume 1 of The Annotated Luther series contains writings that defined
the roots of reform set in motion by Martin Luther, beginning with the
95 Theses (1517) through The Freedom of a Christian (1520). Included
are treatises, letters, and sermons written from 1517–1520, which
set the framework for key themes in all of Luther’s later works.
Also included are documents that reveal Luther’s earliest
confrontations with Rome and his defense of views and perspectives
that led to his excommunication by Leo X in 1520.
These documents display a Luther grounded in late medieval theology
and its peculiar issues, trained in the latest humanist methods of the
Renaissance, and, most especially, showing sensitivity toward the
pastoral consequences for theological positions and church practice.
Each volume in The Annotated Luther series contains new introductions,
as well as 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.
