"For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who
is Christ the Lord." Reflecting on this verse from the Gospel of
Luke (2:11), Martin Luther declared it to be a summary of the
gospel: "See here what the gospel is, namely, a joyful sermon about
Christ our Savior. Whoever preaches him rightly preaches the gospel
and pure joy." Reformation commentators meditated upon the
significance of the good news of Jesus Christ during a vibrant era
in the history of the church that was characterized by spiritual
renewal and reform, doctrinal controversy (especially over matters
such as the presence of Christ in the Lord?s Supper) and the
overriding desire to understand the meaning and implications of
Scripture for Christian belief and practice. While in many ways
similar to the other Synoptic Gospels, the Gospel of Luke also
testified to this good news through unique material, including the
announcement of Jesus? birth to the shepherds in the fields, the
parable of the prodigal son and Jesus? appearance to his disciples
on the road to Emmaus after his resurrection. In this volume, Beth
Kreitzer skillfully leads readers through the rich diversity of
Reformation commentary on the Gospel of Luke. Readers will be able
to listen to both well-known and lesser-known voices from a variety
of theological traditions, including Lutherans, Reformed, Radicals,
Anglicans and Roman Catholics, many of whose comments appear for
the first time in English. By drawing from an array of Reformation
resources - including commentaries, sermons, treatises and
confessions - this volume will equip scholars to understand better
the depth and breadth of Reformation commentary, and it will
provide contemporary preachers with resources from those in the
Reformation church who sought to understand the meaning of this
"good news of great joy" (2:10).
