1567 – Works of Martin Luther | Protestant Reformation Commentary | Vellum Folio

Martin Luther is one of the most iconic and well-recognized figures of the Protestant Reformation. His theological teachings which rejected many of the Roman Catholic Church’s doctrines were polarizing in the development of Renaissance Protestantism.

This first volume from the 1567 third edition includes sermons, theological commentary, and historical writings central to early Lutheran thought. Notable texts include the Sermon on the Sacrament of Penance, commentary on the Lord’s Prayer, Psalms commentary, the Augsburg meeting with Cardinal Cajetan in 1518, and the Exposition of the Magnificat.
