The Reformation was, more than anything, a result of Luther’s preaching. His most popular publications were not his theological disputations or extensive biblical exegeses, but his sermons and devotional writings. Luther preached thousands of sermons, so much so that by mid-1520, the municipality of Wittenberg hired someone to transcribe the reformer’s sermons, including those in this book.
Presented here are 18 sermons that Luther preached during Holy Week and Easter in 1529. These writings demonstrate his expository ability and the depth of his pastoral interest. This book will help you in preparing your sermons, and will provide you with a greater understanding of the biblical text, the human condition, Holy Communion, the Passion and Resurrection of Christ, and the challenges in Christian proclamation.
