Synopsis

Unlock Luther’s plain-spoken view of Jesus’ most famous sermon and what it means for everyday faith.

This edition presents Martin Luther’s examination of the Fifth Chapter of Matthew, showing how Christ’s words were meant to shape true Christian life, not merely offer advice. It highlights the danger of misinterpretation and explains the ties between faith, forgiveness, and living out one’s beliefs in daily actions.

The discussion moves from the Sermon’s opening about who teaches and who receives it, to how users of the prayer and instruction should live. It covers the role of daily bread, forgiveness, temptation, and the ultimate trust in God’s will, power, and glory, helping readers see the practical fruits of grace in hard times.

• How Luther frames Jesus’ teaching as a call to clear, lived-out faith rather than a set of optional “counsels.”
• Why forgiveness of sins is linked to forgiving others and how this shapes community life.
• What it means for believers to seek God’s kingdom, will, and glory in real-world governance, justice, and daily choices.
• How Christian comfort in suffering can coexist with active, faithful works, grounded in grace.

Ideal for readers of theological commentary and those seeking a clear, practical view of how grace and works meet in daily living.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Excerpt from Commentary on the Sermon on the Mount

The forty-third volume of the Erlangen edition of Luther's works contains his exposition of the "Sermon on the Mount" Dr. Irmischer, the editor of this edition, prefaces the volume with these remarks:

"During Bugenhagen's absence Luther preached a long while for him, regularly, on the fifth, sixth and seventh chapters of Matthew, beginning Nov. 9, 1530. These sermons were then published, first in 1532, at Wittenberg, under Joseph Klug, in quarto; in 1533 at Marburg, in octavo; and in 1539, again in Wittenberg, in quarto, under Johann Weiss. In 1533 they were also translated into Latin by Vincent Obsopoeus."

In this Irmischer edition these sermons are thrown into the form of a running commentary, and as such they are now presented to the English reading public by the Lutheran Publication Society.
