In his The Babylonian Captivity of the Church, Martin Luther set
forth a reconsideration of the sacramental Christian life that
centered on the word. His thesis is that the papacy had distorted
the sacraments with its own traditions and regulations,
transforming them into a system of control and coercion. The
evangelical liberty of the sacramental promises had been replaced
by a papal absolutism which, like a feudal lordship, claimed its
own jurisdictional liberties and privileges over the totality of
Christian life through a sacramental system that spanned birth to
death. Yet Luther, does not replace one tyranny for another; his
argument for a return to the biblical understanding of the
sacraments is moderated by a consideration of traditions and
external practices in relation to their effects on the individual
conscience and faith. This volume is excerpted from The Annotated
Luther series, Volume 3. Each volume in the series contains new
introductions, annotations, illustrations, and notes to help shed
light on Luther's context and interpret his writings for today.
