Concerning Christian Liberty

By Martin Luther

""Concerning Christian Liberty"" is a theological treatise written by Martin Luther, the German theologian and religious reformer, in 1520. In this book, Luther argues that true Christian freedom is not found in external works or adherence to religious laws, but rather in the inner faith and belief in Christ. He asserts that salvation is a gift from God and cannot be earned through human effort or good works. Luther also emphasizes the importance of the Bible as the ultimate authority in matters of faith and encourages Christians to live a life of service to others. The book is considered a seminal work in the Protestant Reformation and has had a lasting impact on Christian theology and practice.Among those monstrous evils of this age with which I have now for three years been waging war, I am sometimes compelled to look to you and to call you to mind, most blessed father Leo. In truth, since you alone are everywhere considered as being the cause of my engaging in war, I cannot at any time fail to remember you; and although I have been compelled by the causeless raging of your impious flatterers against me to appeal from your seat to a future council--fearless of the futile decrees of your predecessors Pius and Julius, who in their foolish tyranny prohibited such an action--yet I have never been so alienated in feeling from your Blessedness as not to have sought with all my might, in diligent prayer and crying to God, all the best gifts for you and for your see.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
