Martin Luther, full of compassion, grief, disappointment, and frustration, turns away from his entreaties to and debates with church leaders and writes instead to the German political leaders. With extreme clarity, Luther explains in this letter the unbalanced nature and habits of the religious institution - certain at this point that the German people could only be set free from this continual and escalating religious destruction through the intervention...

Many Christians find prayer challenging, despite it being a central component of their faith. "How should I pray?" "What if I am distracted?" "What if my prayers become repetitive and routine?" "What should I pray for?" These are all questions that a Christian may be concerned about.
When requested by his good friend Peter Beskendorf, a barber by trade, for some practical advice regarding how to pray, Luther replied by preparing this short paper,...

A Christian is a willing servant of everything and subject to everyone."...

The third of Martin Luther's 1520 treatises, also referred to as A Treatise on Christian Liberty, this work focuses on the topics of justification and total salvation. Boldly, unmistakably, and directly contrasting the teachings of the church, Luther argued for the truth he found in studying the Bible on his own.

"Wenn ich Markus lese, liebe ich ihn, weil er nicht vollkommen ist. Für mich stolpert er durch seine eigenen Geschichten, in die er alles hinein trug, was er gefunden hatte. Er kommt ja auch nur auf sechzehn Kapitel. Markus ist der Echteste, der zeitlich am Nächsten dran war." (Jürgen Fliege)

In this, one of Martin Luther's most impactful works, he brings together the similarities between the exile and captivity of the Israelites and the state of the Catholic church, in their destructive servitude to the papacy. He goes through each of the seven sacraments - questioning, analyzing, and applying the Biblical understandings he had reached. He rejects many of the practices, calling out the issues of control and misrepresentation of true Christian...

The Freedom of the Christian was Martin Luther's first public defense of the doctrine of justification by grace through faith on account of Christ alone. Luther's explosive rediscovery of the Gospel of Jesus Christ shattered the Church of Rome's foundation of works, which considered good works a part of salvation instead of a result of it. Here, Luther constructed a rich theology that relies on the full power of the Gospel, which not only grants saving...
