Timothy J. Wengert skillfully provides a clear understanding of the historical context from which the treatise The Freedom of a Christian and his accompanying Letter to Pope Leo X arose. As controversy concerning his writings grew, Luther was instructed to write a reconciliation-minded letter to Pope Leo X (14751521). To this letter he appended a nonpolemical tract describing the heart of his beliefs, The Freedom of a Christian. Luthers Latin version added an introduction and a lengthy appendix not found in the German edition. The two editions arose out of the different audiences for them: the one addressed to theologians, clerics, and church leaders (for whom Latin was the common language), and one addressed to the German-speaking public, which included the nobility, townsfolk, many from the lesser clergy, and others who could read (or have Luthers writings read to them). This volume is excerpted from The Annotated Luther series, Volume 1. Each volume in the series contains new introductions, annotations, illustrations, and notes to help shed light on Luthers context and to interpret his writings for today. The translations of Luthers writings include updates of Luthers Works, American Edition, or new translations of Luthers German or Latin writings.

"This timeless little classic communicates essential teachings of Martin Luther. Luther's great insight into the freedom of the Christian proved revolutionary in his century and remains timely and poignantly relevant in our own. For the Christian, this freedom means liberty from sin and death, as well as the opportunity to serve one's neighbor. Written in a simple style, On Christian Liberty conveys profound spiritual discernment about the grace of God and liberating faith in Christ Jesus. This translation, down-to-earth and accessible, brings one of the great Reformer's most important works to a new generation of readers." --from the publisher.

A Treatise on Christian Liberty is one of Martin Luther's major reforming treatises of 1520. It developed the concept that as fully forgiven children of God, Christians are no longer compelled to keep God's law; however, they freely and willingly serve God and their neighbors. Luther also further develops the concept of justification by faith. In the treatise, Luther stated, "A Christian is a perfectly free lord of all, subject to none. A Christian is a perfectly dutiful servant of all, subject to all."

The Freedom of the Christian was Martin Luther's first public defense of the doctrine of justification by grace through faith on account of Christ alone. Luther's explosive rediscovery of the Gospel of Jesus Christ shattered the Church of Rome's foundation of works, which considered good works a part of salvation instead of a result of it. Here, Luther constructed a rich theology that relies on the full power of the Gospel, which not only grants saving faith but also nurtures that faith through good works done in the freest service. This new abridged translation from Adam Francisco, featuring a brief essay from Scott Keith, leaves no doubt that the Christian, secure in Christ, is truly free—free from sin, death, and the devil, and free to serve their neighbor.

Among those monstrous evils of this age with which I have now for three years been waging war, I am sometimes compelled to look to you and to call you to mind, most blessed father Leo. In truth, since you alone are everywhere considered as being the cause of my engaging in war, I cannot at any time fail to remember you; and although I have been compelled by the causeless raging of your impious flatterers against me to appeal from your seat to a future council--fearless of the futile decrees of your predecessors Pius and Julius, who in their foolish tyranny prohibited such an action--yet I have never been so alienated in feeling from your Blessedness as not to have sought with all my might, in diligent prayer and crying to God, all the best gifts for you and for your see.

Von der Freiheit eines Christenmenschen (On the Freedom of a Christian), published in November 1520 in German and soon afterwards in Latin, was the European bestseller of the 16th century. It is a bold statement of Martin Luther's Reformation theology in which he passionately argues for the primacy of faith. The work is built around the striking statement that Christians are both free and bound - free through God's grace and bound to their fellow human beings. It was written at a critical moment in the history of the Reformation, shortly before Luther was excommunicated in 1521. The Freedom treatise, which Lyndal Roper describes as the most beautiful writing of that time, captivated the German audience with its mystical language, talking about Christ marrying the human soul despite it being a "poor little whore", and about the joy of being a Christian 'mensch' (the German word for human being, a gender-neutral term instead of the usual word 'man') rather than about sin and punishment. It is written in a remarkably fresh and accessible style, with addresses to the reader, imaginary dialogues, and frequent colloquial touches. Luther also capitalizes on the contrast between the freedom and bondage of a Christian to set up apparent paradoxes which are then strikingly resolved. On the quincentenary of its first publication, this volume takes a new collaborative approach which makes use of digital methods to combine book-historical studies, digital editing, and linguistic analysis. The edition is based on four copies of the work, three in German and one in Latin, held in Oxford in the Taylor Institution Library. The first edition, Taylor Institution Library Arch. 8° G. 1520(25), printed by Rhau-Gruneberg in Wittenberg, forms the basis for the present volume, which for the first time includes an English translation of the German, rather than the Latin version of the pamphlet. The text and translation are offered with extensive explanatory footnotes, and the relationship between the German and Latin versions is explored in a chapter by Howard Jones, who puts forward new, linguistic arguments, that the German version was written first. Other chapters include: an introduction to the historical and philosophical background to the text by Dennis and Hannah Clemens, translated by Florence Butterfield and Raluca Vasiu; a history of the four copies in the Taylor Institution Library by Maximilian Krümpelmann; and a guide on how to read Reformation pamphlets from the facsimile by Henrike Lähnemann. The edition is a collective effort which grew out of History of the Book classes at the University of Oxford which are based at the Taylor Institution Library and an interdisciplinary Reformation project jointly undertaken by academics and students from the Faculties of Modern Languages and History; the translation was done by Anna Linton and Sharon Baker in consultation with Henrike Lähnemann and Howard Jones and with linguistic footnotes by Ari Warrington. The full text is also available as a podcast, read by Howard Jones, Julia Robertshaw, Eleanor Voak, Samuel Schulenburg, Emma Huber, Hannah Clemens, Dennis Clemens, Raluca Vasiu, Julia Bouquet, Lena Vosding, Marlene Schilling, Thomas Henderson, Kate Shore, Maximilian Krümpelmann, Kiara Hart, Carolin Gluchowski, Josephine Bewerunge, Caroline Lehnert, Anna Linton, Molly Ford, Susanne Herrmann-Sinai, Reinier van Straten, Ruth Görnandt, Elijah Ferrante, Mai-Britt Wiech-mann, Linus Ubl, Luise Morawetz, Ari Warrington, Konstantin Winters, Timothy Powell, and Alexandra Burgar.

Martin Luther posted his Ninety-five Theses on the church door at Wittenberg in 1517. In the three years that followed, Luther clarified and defended his position in numerous writings. Chief among these are the three treatises written in 1520. In these writings Luther tried to frame his ideas in terms that would be comprehensible not only to the clergy but to people from a wide range of backgrounds. To the Christian Nobility of the German Nation is an attack on the corruption of the church and the abuses of its authority, bringing to light many of the underlying reasons for the Reformation. The second treatise, The Babylonian Captivity of the Church, contains Luther's sharp criticism of the sacramental system of the Catholic church. The Freedom of a Christian gives a concise presentation of Luther's position on the doctrine of justification by faith. The translations of these treatises are all taken from the American edition of Luther's Works. This new edition of Three Treatises will continue to be a popular resource for individual study, church school classes, and college and seminary courses.
