About This Book

A sequence of pulpit-style sermons and detailed expositions on the New Testament letters of Peter and Jude that combines doctrinal teaching with practical pastoral counsel. The commentator emphasizes justification by faith and carefully distinguishes faith from works while addressing duties in social and civil life. Exposition proceeds line-by-line with frequent scriptural citations, written in plain, direct language that alternates sober theological argument with pointed rebukes of ecclesiastical error, aiming to instruct lay readers in both belief and conduct.

About the Author

Luther, Martin portrait

Martin Luther

Martin Luther (1483-1546) was a seminal figure in the Protestant Reformation, known for his theological writings and advocacy for reform within the Catholic Church. His influential works include "A Treatise on Good Works" and "Commentary on the Epistle to the Galatians," which reflect his views on faith, grace, and the authority of scripture. Luther's translation of the Bible into German made the scriptures accessible to the laity, significantly impacting Christian practice and literacy. His "Small Catechism" remains a key text in Lutheran education, emphasizing the importance of personal faith and understanding of Christian doctrine.
