Sinopsis

About this VolumeFew other books communicate the Gospel to LutherâÇÖs contemporaries so powerfully as LutherâÇÖs Church Postil (sermons for the church year). Now for the first time, LutherâÇÖs authorized, final edition of the Church Postil, edited originally by Caspar Cruciger for the summer half of the year, is presented here in English. This volume brings forth LutherâÇÖs sermons on Epistle and Gospel texts from Easter through Pentecost.áIn 1535, Luther wrote to a friend, 'Concerning the [earlier version of the] postil, you have more respect for it than I do. I would like the whole book to be destroyed. And this is what I am doing: I am entrusting to Dr. Caspar Cruciger the work of re-editing the whole into a new and better form, which would be of benefit to the whole Church everywhere. He is the sort of man, unless love deceives me, who will correspond to Elisha, if I were Elijah (if one may compare small things with great), a man of peace and quiet, to whom I shall commend the church after [I depart], Philip does this too.'áBenefits of LutherâÇÖs Works, American Edition, vol. 77 (Church Postil III):Accurate and clear translation (An early 20th-century version of these sermons was inaccurate and stilted.)Commentary on the chief biblical text for the seasons of Epiphany, Ascension, and PentecostIncludes the careful, explanatory introductions and footnotes that have become a hallmark of LutherâÇÖs Works: American EditionFully indexedEdited by Benjamin T. G. Mayes and James L. LangebartelsAbout the SeriesThe 28 planned new volumes are intended to reflect both modern and sixteenth-century interests and to expand the coverage of genres underrepresented in the existing volumes, such as LutherâÇÖs sermons and disputations.
