This book contains Martin Luther's timeless commentary upon the
Epistle to the Galatians in its entirety. First published in 1538,
this thorough examination of the ancient manuscript sees Luther
provision his own informed interpretation of the words within. The
painstaking commentary embarked upon by Luther is today recognised
as one of his finest contributions to theological thought. All
chapters and verses receive close examination, with the author
explaining and clarifying each to the reader. From our vantage
point in the 21st century, we may witness how Martin Luther's
visitation led to the Epistle of the Galatians popular
reintroduction as an important Christian work. Owing to the-then
recent invention of the printing press, this and many other
religious texts gained a wide and swift distribution. Most notably
in Martin Luther's case was his translation of the entire Bible
from the Latin, which duly acquired an unprecedented audience
throughout Europe and beyond.
The Book of Psalms holds a special place in the affections of
believers. However distressing or unusual our experiences, whatever
our depths of temptation or fear, or heights of joy and
consolation, the Psalmist has already walked in the same paths as
ourselves. His lovely songs and prayers describe them with
astonishing insight and sympathy. Murdoch Campbell's books have
long been esteemed for their spirituality. Here he shares with the
reader the hope, edification, and comfort in affliction which the
Psalms have given him over the years. The book is divided into
brief entries, one for each consecutive Psalm. Each entry explores
a leading theme of a Psalm.
