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.
