Martin Luther's Writings
Martin Luther's Writings
Martin Luther was a man of the word – and of writing. He gave the most important impulses for the Reformation by means of words, both spoken and printed. Many of his treatises, sermons, letters, table talks and, last but not least, his Bible translations, have been preserved. Letterpress printing, newly invented at that time, made it possible that some of the texts were spread further, even during his lifetime, than any publication ever before. Other records we owe to the note-taking of Luther's friend Georg Rörer. Not only the papers, but also the content and the radiant appeal of the language have outlasted the centuries.
The 95 theses
Out of love for the truth and the desire to bring it to light, the following propositions will be discussed at Wittenberg, under the presidency of the Reverend Father Martin Luther, Master of Arts and of Sacred Theology, and Lecturer in Ordinary on the same at that place.
