"'Von der Freiheit eines Christenmenschen' (1520) ist eine der drei großen reformatorischen Programmschriften Martin Luthers und eines der wirkmächtigsten Werke der deutschen Geistesgeschichte. In klarer, kraftvoller Sprache entfaltet Luther darin sein berühmtes Paradox der christlichen Freiheit:
'Ein Christenmensch ist ein freier Herr über alle Dinge und niemand untertan. Ein Christenmensch ist ein dienstbarer Knecht aller Dinge und jedermann untertan.' Wahre Freiheit, so Luther, gründe allein im Glauben — und äußere sich in der tätigen Liebe zum Nächsten.
Ein Schlüsseltext der Reformation, dessen Gedanken bis heute nachwirken. Hans Jochim Schmidt liest die vollständige Schrift, ungekürzt, rund 1 Stunde 15 Minuten."
"Dieses Hörbuch wird von einer digitalen Stimme vorgelesen.
Der Kleine Katechismus von Martin Luther ist eine kurze und klare Einführung in die Grundlagen des christlichen Glaubens. Ursprünglich für die Unterweisung von Familien, Kindern und einfachen Gläubigen geschrieben, erklärt dieses klassische Lehrbuch die wichtigsten Elemente des Glaubens: die Zehn Gebote, das Glaubensbekenntnis, das Vaterunser sowie die Sakramente. In einfacher und prägnanter Sprache verfasst, gehört der Kleine Katechismus bis heute zu den einflussreichsten Texten der lutherischen Tradition."
"'Zeitlose Kraft, unerbittliche Klarheit, menschliche Tiefe.'
Die Bibel in der Übersetzung Martin Luthers entfaltet ein gewaltiges Panorama menschlicher Hoffnung, Zweifel, Liebe und Erlösung. Mit einer Sprache, die den Grundstein für das moderne Deutsch legte, führt dieses Werk von der Schöpfung bis zur Offenbarung und begleitet den Leser durch Geschichten von Königen und Propheten, Leid und Hoffnung, Weisheit und Mut. Luthers Worte lassen die heiligen Texte in einer unverwechselbaren Mischung aus poetischer Wucht und zugänglicher Klarheit aufleben – ein Fundament der europäischen Kultur und ein Werk, das seit Jahrhunderten Denken und Glauben prägt."

Eine historische Grundsatzschrift, die das Denken und den Glauben bis heute prägt.

"First published in 1525, Martin Luther's 'Bondage of the Will' is acknowledged by theologians as one of the great masterpieces of the Reformation. It is Luther's response to Desiderius Erasmus's 'Diatribe on Free Will, ' written in his direct and unique style, combining deep spirituality with humor. Luther writes powerfully about man's depravity and God's sovereignty. The crucial issue for Luther concerned what ability free will has, and to what degree it is subject to God's sovereignty. For Luther, this key issue of free will is directly connected to God's plan of salvation. Is man able to save himself, or is his salvation entirely a work of divine grace? This work is vital to understanding the primary doctrines of the Reformation and will long remain among the great theological classics of Christian history."
"Martin Luther and John Calvin are household names, where people have little knowledge of them besides their vast impact on Christian thought and culture. It is surprising how closely their language and concerns reflect modern times.
Martin Luther was a rabble-rousing man of the people, filled with invective and the emotional force of connecting with humanity rather than culture or wealth.
John Calvin’s sardonic sense of humour permeates a constant barrage of mythbusting that would do a modern-day fact checker proud.
Three less well-known writers round out the collection. Zwingli, Melancthon and Savonarola all preach with a force befitting true Christians fighting against the vast powers of a Catholic church that was the most powerful entity in Europe, and had consolidated a wide range of practices that broke the people away from an experience of divinity.
Savonarola speaks with the voice of a travelling preacher, a man of the people whose voice matched that of Eugene Debs. Zwingli spoke with a proud nationalism and pride that was wounded by the use of foreign armies, when the land could provide for all its citizens if managed correctly. Melancthon is an academic, providing a point-by-point deconstruction of the Pope’s claimed powers in ways that were irrefutable even for the Jesuit strains that held the Catholic Church’s intellectual force.
Just as with the liberation fighters, socialists, and anarchists of previous volumes, these historical figures lived under great threat, attacking vast forces with little more than courage and the certainty of their beliefs. They stand as the bridge over the cultural change between the middle ages and the renaissance."
"The third of Martin Luther's 1520 treatises, also referred to as A Treatise on Christian Liberty, this work focuses on the topics of justification and total salvation. Boldly, unmistakably, and directly contrasting the teachings of the church, Luther argued for the truth he found in studying the Bible on his own. Introducing, for the first time to many readers, the argument for justification through faith alone, he knocked down the idea of being dependent on additional sacraments, penances, and works for salvation. In this treatise, Luther highlights the freedom found in God's unconditional love and the life-changing and transformative power found in a personal relationship with Christ. This daring, published stance provided the sparks that ignited the Reformation as well as the invaluable push to individual believers to begin searching the Word themselves for God's truth."
"In this, one of Martin Luther's most impactful works, he brings together the similarities between the exile and captivity of the Israelites and the state of the Catholic church, in their destructive servitude to the papacy. He goes through each of the seven sacraments - questioning, analyzing, and applying the Biblical understandings he had reached. He rejects many of the practices, calling out the issues of control and misrepresentation of true Christian faith and repentance. Changing hearts and minds since its publication, this insightful discourse remains a significant document on theology, faith, and institutional church practices."
"Martin Luther, full of compassion, grief, disappointment, and frustration, turns away from his entreaties to and debates with church leaders and writes instead to the German political leaders. With extreme clarity, Luther explains in this letter the unbalanced nature and habits of the religious institution - certain at this point that the German people could only be set free from this continual and escalating religious destruction through the intervention of their government. Containing immensely important historical context, these letters also paved the way for imperative theological doctrines and understandings. In his aim to stop the abuse of the Catholic church, Luther discusses the need for a system which holds religious institutions accountable, acknowledges and allows for interpretations of the Bible outside of the Pope alone, and establishes a separation of church and state. This incredible letter is a rare and crucial document for understanding and appreciating the history of denominations, the development of religious freedoms, and so many current systems of politics and national faith."

"Martin Luther's Classic Work, Newly Translated by Robert Kolb
Originally published in 1520, The Freedom of a Christian is one of Martin Luther's most well-known and enduring treatises. In it, Luther examines Christian ethics and how justification by faith alone impacts the liberty of believers. He famously writes, 'A Christian is a free lord of everything and subject to no one. A Christian is a willing servant of everything and subject to everyone.' Luther also further develops ideas and doctrines that were key to the Reformation, such as the priesthood of all believers and union with Christ.
This addition to the Crossway Short Classics series features a new translation from the original German to English by renowned Reformation scholar Robert Kolb. The Freedom of a Christian reminds modern-day readers that it is ultimately grace that transforms God's people and frees us to love and obey.

"“Let the man who would hear God speak, read Holy Scripture.” ~Dr. Martin Luther
The beginning of the Holiday season in the US is marked by a pagan party on the last day of October known as Halloween. In recent years, this day has grown in popularity. In fact, a quick tour of any local neighborhood will reveal yard decorations of a scope and complexity bigger and more widespread than ever before. It quite literally rivals Christmastime now.
Many knowingly embrace Halloween’s demonic foundations. But, the vast majority (including many professing Christians) simply dismiss it as “harmless fun”, dedicated to dressing up and eating candy. The whole demonic part is really not to be taken all that seriously.
So, what’s a Bible-believer to do at this time of year? Well, we could head out to the garage and just dust off the Nativity scene early. In fact, that may not be such a bad idea. But if we as Christians want to celebrate a specific event other than Halloween on October 31st, then Martin Luther’s nailing of his 95 Theses onto the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany, in 1517 is as good an alternative event as any. Because that event sparked one of the biggest revivals of a love for God’s Word in history, and October 31st is recorded as the actual day it took place. Hallelujah! What better example of how God works!
To that end, we’ve decided to help fan the flame of that alternative celebration with this recording of Luther’s 95 Theses in English. Study them in your homeschool, your small group, your classroom or just listen in the car by yourself, with family or friends. And begin your Holiday season a little differently this year.
Five Talents Audio shares Martin Luther’s love of God’s Word and it is our hope that both his and ours shine through in this recording, and that it helps bring you peace with God and peace with this fallen world, just as Jesus promised. Blessings today and love to all."
