Luther's Works, Volume 58 (Selected Sermons V) (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780758613875)

This volume contains a selection of Luthers preaching from between January 1539 and his death in 1546. Aware of his own mortality and deeply committed to the proclamation of the Gospel in the last days of the world, Luther preached during these years with a special sense of urgency, seeking to make a final confession and testament of his teaching and to issue a public rejection of its opponents. In that effort, he returned frequently to theological themes from the early years of his public career and to autobiographical reflection, working to convey the significance of the Reformation to a new generation ignorant of the circumstances that had called for reform, who had experienced nothing of these distresses and heartbreak under the pope and what a joyful thing the Gospel is.
