Aimed at increasing understanding and interest among contemporary readers, these slim, affordable volumes features new translations and a range of helpful features to make them ideal for classroom use.

The canon of western political theory has long misrepresented Luther's political thought, mistaking it as a forerunner of the 'freedom of conscience' or the 'separation of church and state, ' or an ancestor of modern absolutism and even German totalitarianism. These misleading interpretations neglect Luther's central point: temporal government is a gift from God, worthy of honor and respect, independent yet complementary to the purpose and mission of the Church. Spanning Luther's career as a reformer, the writings in this anthology will demonstrate his resolve to restore temporal government to its proper place of honor and divine purpose.

Om en kristen människas frihet är en av reformationens huvudskrifter. De tankar Martin Luther här utvecklar leder in till själva centrum av hans teologi: Endast tron på Kristus gör en människa rättfärdig. Det är på denna grund Martin Luther bygger sin frihetslära. Boken tillkom när Luther levde under hot om bannlysning och det han skrev skickade han till påven. Innehållet utstrålar den tidlösa, trygga glädje som tron på Guds ord och löften ger.
