Martin Luther posted his Ninety-five Theses on the church door at
Wittenberg in 1517. In the three years that followed, Luther clarified
and defended his position in numerous writings. Chief among these are
the three treatises written in 1520. In these writings Luther tried to
frame his ideas in terms that would be comprehensible not only to the
clergy but to people from a wide range of backgrounds. To the
Christian Nobility of the German Nation is an attack on the corruption
of the church and the abuses of its authority, bringing to light many
of the underlying reasons for the Reformation. The second treatise,
The Babylonian Captivity of the Church, contains Luther's sharp
criticism of the sacramental system of the Catholic church. The
Freedom of a Christian gives a concise presentation of Luther's
position on the doctrine of justification by faith. This volume is
excerpted from The Annotated Luther series, Volume 1 and The Annotated
Luther series, Volume 3. Each volume in the series contains new
introductions, annotations, illustrations, and notes to help shed
light on Luther's context and to interpret his writings for today. The
translations of Luther's writings include updates of Luther's Works,
American Edition, or new translations of Luther's German or Latin
writings.
