Martin Luther (1483-1546 AD) was
once a Roman Catholic monk and studied the Word of God
diligently in the monastery. His studies convinced him that many
practices of the Roman Catholic Church were indeed unbiblical,
leading him to post his "95 theses", statements he wanted to
debate within the context of the Catholic Church in order to
restore it to truth. The Catholic Church didn't listen, and
Martin Luther was excommunicated and became the first
"Lutheran."
Remarkably, Martin Luther's "Commentary on Galatians" remains,
after almost 500 years, one of the premier proponents for the
decidedly anti-Catholic doctrine of justification by faith in
Christ alone. Galatians was Luther's favorite book, and it was
crucial to his understanding of the gospel.
Luther was convinced that:
1. God justifies a person (declares him "not guilty" and acquits
him) by faith in Jesus Christ alone and not by works
2. That every believer has direct access to God apart from any
human intervention
3. The Bible is the only source of true authority on matters of
faith and life.
Luther's Commentary on Galatians is truly one of the best ways
to get a broad yet concise understanding of the doctrine of
justification by faith alone (sola fide). Martin Luther explains
the Book of Galatians with a boldness of insight and power of
spirit that simply cannot be found in today's "commentary-ettes".
Luther is not at all concerned with the "politically incorrect"
discussions of 'difficult' passages, nor does he employ the use
of "scriptural gymnastics" to twist the words into something
they do not mean. From the very first page Luther cuts to the
chase in dealing with the teachings of Paul's Epistle, and his
bold words and plain-sense explanations result in a work filled
with much of the same force and spiritual passion that defined
Galatians itself. If you are looking for a modern, critical
commentary or greek-based exegesis then you will be sorely
disappointed...however if you are seeking a bold, truthful
explanation that doesn't pull any punches, you will be richly
rewarded.
