Martin Luther's Ninety-Five Theses

Timothy J. Wengert, one of the best know interpreters of Luther and Lutheranism active today, sets his newly translated Ninety-Five Theses in its historical context with a detailed introduction and illuminating study notes. To help the reader understand the context and the import of the Ninety-Five Theses, Wengert provides tworelated and essential documents: Luther’s Letter to Archbishop Albrecht of Mainz (to which he appended a copy of the Ninety-Five Theses) and Luther’s 1518 Sermon on Indulgences and Grace (written to inform the German-speaking public of his view of indulgences).
