The Freedom of a Christian: Luther Study Edition, Revised and Expanded

Perhaps no work of Martin Luther so captures the revolutionary zeal and theological boldness of his vision as does The Freedom of a Christian. Yet, prior to the initial publication in 2008 of Mark Tranvik's new translation of this treatise, it was not easily accessible. Now, this revised and expanded edition of Tranvik's eminently accessible work brings alive the social, historical, and ecclesial content of Luther's treatise. New features in this edition include updates to the translation; new "Questioning the Answers" study features for classroom, group, and individual reflection; and a revised and expanded annotated guide to further reading. These helpful additions complement Tranvik's informative introduction; modern, student-friendly translation; frequent headings and notes; glossary of key theological and ecclesial terms; and carefully curated collection of historical illustrations. Professors and students alike will find this updated volume to be an essential tool for understanding this distinctive turning point in Luther's theological journey. The accessibility of Tranvik's careful prose renders it similarly helpful for congregational settings.
