Martin Luther

Commentary on Galatians Martin Luther

This book contains Martin Luther's timeless commentary upon the Epistle to the Galatians in its entirety.

First published in 1538, this thorough examination of the ancient manuscript sees Luther provision his own informed interpretation of the words within. The painstaking commentary embarked upon by Luther is today recognised as one of his finest contributions to theological thought. All chapters and verses receive close examination, with the author explaining and clarifying each to the reader.

From our vantage point in the 21st century, we may witness how Martin Luther's visitation led to the Epistle of the Galatians popular reintroduction as an important Christian work. Owing to the-then recent invention of the printing press, this and many other religious texts gained a wide and swift distribution. Most notably in Martin Luther's case was his translation of the entire Bible from the Latin, which duly acquired an unprecedented audience throughout Europe and beyond.

This edition contains the English translation of Luther's commentary on the Galatians first published in 1949 by Theodore Graebner, who was a Lutheran pastor and Professor of Philosophy at St. Louis university until his death in 1950.
