On Worldly Authority - To What Extent It Should Be Obeyed

By Martin Luther and Michael Grzonka

Book Overview

The spiritual awakening of the German Reformation raised the bar for what Protestants expected from their rulers. With another Presidential election campaign on the way, today's believers also want to know: What is a politician's "job description"? What is a ruler or politician to do if he were himself a Christian, and willing to rule his land in a god-pleasing way? Luther elaborated on the subject of proper rule in a series of sermons preached in Wittenberg in October 1522. He later condensed these sermons into the treatise presented in this study guide. Grounding his logic in scripture alone, Luther wrote to be easily understood by the common man. Luther's fresh and engaging writing style has lost nothing of its clarity and vigor, and it is still just as easily understood by today's readers. This Study Guide makes it easy to study Luther's tract in a group setting. It features nine Lessons with Review and Study Questions, and a section with Leader's Notes. Order your review copy today!
