Luther’s Works, vol. 63: Exodus 20–34 and Prophets
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
Since the publication of the American edition of Luther’s Works in English began in 1955 under the general editorship of Jaroslav Pelikan and Helmut Lehmann, there has been an explosion in the translation of Luther into the languages of the globe. The goal of the translation is to allow Luther to speak in modern English yet as a man of the sixteenth century. The editor and publisher trust that these new volumes of Luther’s Works in English will, in harmony with the original goals of the American edition, serve their readers with much that has proved and will prove its “importance for the faith, life, and history of the Christian Church.”

Martin Luther (1483–1546), one of the most significant figures in Western history, was a key figure in the Protestant Reformation. Over the course of his life, Luther was a monk, a priest, a professor of biblical literature, a Reformer, a husband, and a father.
Luther is most noted for his Ninety-Five Theses (1517), in which he argued that indulgences were not acts of penance which could replace true repentance. His refusal to retract all his writings, demanded by Pope Leo X in 1520 and the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V at the Diet of Worms in 1521, resulted in his excommunication by the pope and condemnation as an outlaw by the emperor.
Luther has been both praised and vilified for what he preached and wrote. Luther’s translation of the Christian Bible into the vernacular greatly influenced the church. His works continue to impact all Christians and animate the movement that bears his name. Luther’s Works (55 vols.) contains many of Luther’s writings, including commentaries, sermons, and lectures.
