Martin Luther

Fortress Press, 1986 - Biography & Autobiography - 512 pages

Here is Volume 55, the long-awaited index to the American Edition of Luther's Works -- all 54 volumes! It is the capstone to a 27- year publishing project, the key to all future use and study of this literature. Monumental in scope, this index is comprehensive. It includes:

over 9,000 names, subjects, and pieces of literature (both titles cited by Luther and titles by Luther himself)

a complete index of Scripture passages (Old Testament, New Testament, and Apocrypha) referred to outside of commentaries on a specific scriptural book.

About the author

Joel W. Lundeen, was formerly an Associate Professor at the Lutheran School of Theology-Chicago and the Associate Archivist for the Lutheran School of Theology, Chicago, and the Associate Archivist for the Lutheran Church in America. Martin Luther stands as one of the most significant figures in Western history. His distinction as the father of the Protestant Reformation is augmented by his innovative use of new technology (the printing press), his translation of the Christian Bible into the vernacular, and his impact upon European society. Born in 1483 to middle-class parents in Saxony, eastern Germany, he became an Augustinian monk, a priest, a professor of biblical literature, a reformer, a husband and father. He died in 1546 after having witnessed the birth of a renewal movement that would result in a profound shift in faith, politics, and society. He has been both praised and vilified for what he preached and wrote. His thought continues to influence all Christians and to animate the movement that bears his name.
