Martin Luther's Ninety-Five Theses

<p>By almost any reckoning the <strong>Ninety-Five Theses</strong> ranks as the most important text of the Reformation if not in substance at least in impact. As the anniversary of its posting on the church door in Wittenberg approaches what better way to remember and recognize the occasion than to make this important text more easily understood by twenty-first-century readers?</p><p>Timothy J. Wengert one of the best-known interpreters of Luther and Lutheranism active today sets his newly translated <strong>Ninety-Five Theses</strong> in its historical context with a detailed introduction and illuminating study notes. To help the reader understand the context and the import of the <strong>Ninety-Five Theses </strong>more deeply Wengert provides two more related and essential documents: <strong>Luthers Letter to Archbishop Albrecht of Mainz</strong> (to which he appended a copy of the <strong>Theses</strong>) and Luthers <strong>1518 Sermon on Indulgences and Grace</strong> (written to inform the German-speaking public of his view of indulgences).</p><p>The book is simply constructed with introductions and notes for each of the writings as well as a study guide with questions for individual or group reflection and conversation.</p>
