Luther's Works - Volume 3

(Lectures on Genesis Chapters 15-20)

Beschreibung

Luther's Works: The American Edition, published by Concordia and Fortress Press between 1955 and 1986, comprises fifty-five volumes. These are a selection representing only about a third of Luther's works in the Latin and German of the standard Weimar Edition, not including the German Bible. The Lectures on Genesis are remarkably extensive in their sweep and give conclusive proof of extraordinary diligence. Luther expounds Scripture in the light of Scripture. Furthermore, he couches his treatment of the Biblical text in a language of simplicity without compromising his forthright way of speaking that evidences profound learning. In the third volume of the American Edition of Luther's Works (Genesis 15-20) the great man of God deals with numerous happenings in the colorful and exciting career of Abraham, the father of the faithful. As he does so, he pays special attention to Sarah, Hagar, Ishmael, Lot, and others. He is always at pains to point to the guiding hand of God. Human beings often sin-either willfully or out of the weakness of the flesh-but God is always present to shape the course of events and to reveal abiding love as well as unflinching justice. The great master holds his readers spellbound as he discourses on the Biblical narrative and applies Scriptural truths to what happened in the past, to what is taking place in his own time, and to what is bound to occur in the future.

Jeremy McCandless is on a mission to help people make the study of the Bible part of the rhythm of their daily lives. He does this by helping people to study God's Word by communicating it in a way that helps people connect with it in a relevant and meaningful way. Mainly through his preaching and podcast ministry. He also now does this by adapting some of the most famous classic Christian books for the modern reader. The goal is to enable a new generation to learn from the wisest and greatest Christian thinkers who have gone before us. Taking the knowledge contained in these classic books and making it accessible to today's readers to allow the ideas within to be expressed in a way that is coherent with the present day. This has led Jeremy to adapt various classic Christian texts into the modern form, hopefully reviving them for future generations. Not just making them easier to read, and much more understandable for the contemporary reader. His background is as a Christian Preacher, Church Pastor, writer, and Podcaster. He has been a Christian for over 50 years growing up amongst Christians who themselves were influenced by, Luther, Calvin, and Wesley and Spurgeon. He has had various leadership roles and has pastored a church of the Baptist denomination in the Northwest of England alongside as a wide experience and influence ministering across all shades of Christianity. Recently with his daily podcast. The "Bible Project Daily Podcast" a 10-year project to teach through the entire Bible, chapter by chapter, verse by verse. It is in year three of its 10-year plan. It is listened to everyday by 100,000's of people around the world in over 170 Countries. Galatians is considered a seminal work in Christian theology and as a result, numerous translations of his commentary have been published over the centuries, allowing readers from different linguistic backgrounds to engage with Luther's profound insights. His growing up and being in Christian ministry in a society and culture heavily influenced by the reformation has been invaluable to this endeavour. I trust this project enables people to gain insights into Luther's theological thinking, particularly his concept of justification by faith alone. By making Luther's insights accessible to a wider modern audience, I hope this book fostered a deeper understanding of his theological thought and its significance for the Christianity.
