Luther's Works, Volume 51: Sermons 1

Luther's Works #51

by John W. Doberstein, Martin Luther

This volume contains a selection of forty- three sermons arranged in chronological order. Beginning with what may be Luther's earliest extant sermon and ending with the last he delivered before his death, this collection of sermons can give the reader a glimpse into the Reformer's development as a preacher. The forty-three sermons in this volume represent but a fragment of Luther's total output. Even the two thousand sermons or more contained in the Weimar Edition of Luther's writings do not include all of Luther's sermons.

[Glenn Crouch · Rating 5 out of 5]

This includes an impressive selection of Luther’s sermons, from his earliest to those just before he died. Whilst admittedly this is only a small sampling, it does give you some good insight into the content of his sermons, and the pastoral aspect of his preaching.

Whilst many sermons are included in earlier volumes, it is welcome to have some volumes dedicated to them. Since this one covered the entire scope of his preaching life, I am intrigued to see what approach the next volume will take - so onto Volume 52!
