Commentary on Peter & Jude (Luther Classic Commentaries)

Description

From the Back Cover Called "one of his best productions" by Charles H. Spurgeon, this classic commentary represents everything for which Martin Luther is known--concise language, clear exposition with practical application, and the inseparable harmony of faith and works. From these often-neglected books of the New Testament, Luther provides a treasury of practical advice for spiritual growth. His emphasis on the eternal hope of the believer lies behind his call to radical Christian living. This popular edition combines two earlier editions translated and edited by John Nichols Lenker, with supplementary notes by George Roerer and chapter outlines by J. G. Walsh. Martin Luther (1483-1546) left his comfortable upbringing to become a Roman Catholic monk and later a professor of theology at the University of Wittenberg in Saxony. His study and teaching of the Greek text of the New Testament represent the beginnings of modern textual study, and his widely disseminated writings sparked the Protestant Reformation in Europe. Other works by Luther include Commentary on Romans and Commentary on Galatians. About the Author Martin Luther (1483-1546) was born in Germany and is famous for his protest, The Ninety-five Theses, which he nailed to the door of the castle church of Wittenberg. The son of middle-class parents, Luther left his comfortable life to become a monk. Luther's own spiritual awakening was sparked by his study of the Greek text of Paul's letter to the Romans, which challenged him with the statement, "The just shall live by faith."
