「毋庸置疑，馬丁路德是十六世紀歐洲改革運動最重要的領袖人物。中國內地教會作為基督教新教教會正致力於把教會辦好。相信《路德文集》（中文版）的出版對中國內地基督新教教會的建立與發展會產生積極而深遠的影響。」
——高峰博士
中國基督教協會前會長
「路德的靈性旅程極其艱辛珍貴，他對因信稱義之福音的再發現，帶給驚恐絕望的良心無比安忍與自由。他一生的工作與著作莫不以闡明見證此福音為其核心使命。中文《路德文集》的出版是有心以第一手資料研究路德思想的豐沛寶藏，也是可以不斷汲取他歷久常新之神學睿見的泉源。」
——俞繼斌
台灣中華信義神學院榮休院長
「翻譯《路德文集》，是華人基督的福氣，更是信義宗信徒的極大寶藏，幫助我們更深一步，更加接近馬丁路德的思想，更加認識聖經和精髓與神話語的能力，更加認識宗教改革運動的精神！因此，大力推薦、這是必讀之作！」
——葉泉清牧師
馬來西亞基督教信義會會督
「一覽目錄，你會發現本卷的兩重特色：一是本卷收錄的皆屬路德人生晚二十年之著作。二是所涉的議題已超越教會內部體系之改革。政教關係，叛亂，戰爭，激進改革，與猶太信仰之關係……此等範疇隨改革運動衍生的衝突和爭議、路德都一一作出回應。昔日困擾路德的議題，今時今日依舊困擾著教會與社會，沒有兩樣。本卷始於路德對尊主頌的默想，其中路德以溫婉之情對其基督信仰作出認信，也是他將福音連結於世界和社會的靈性基礎。」
——羅恆理博士
美國路德會聖路易協同神學院榮休教授
「本卷收錄了路德一些最具爭議性的論著和對於身處兩難者十分有參與價值的著作。在《尊主頌》中，我們看到路德沒有採納全盤拋棄天主教傳統的路線，馬利亞仍受尊崇。路德請求信眾捍衛民事秩序，同時，他也拒絕與那些意圖將萬事一刻間都推倒者同行。他的《論俗世權力》指出政權若以上帝所喜悅的方式行事，人民當服從之。《耶穌基督生為猶太人》和《論猶太人及其謊言》，展示他對猶太人既肯定又否定的定見。然而，在此張力中，他仍視猶太人會得救。此卷皆是此改革皆是此改革家艱苦經營之作，亦給予讀者機會，對此服侍耶穌基督的改革家之長短處作真誠的評估。」
——杜斯特博士（Rev. Dr. Timothy Dost）
美國路德會聖路易協同神學院歷史及改革運動神學教授
「本卷收納十三篇路德在他全力推動教會改革運動和晚年期間所撰寫的文章。文章可分四類：
第一頖是一篇以馬利亞尊崇上帝為主題的霝修文章——《尊主頌》。字裏行間讀者可感受到這不僅是一篇靈修文章，亦是指導那聲稱以路德為屬靈父親的腓勒德力約翰將來如何做親王。
第二類是八篇有關政教關係的文章。當中五篇，如《論俗世權力》，提醒基督徒臣民（教會）如何面對在上的（政府）權力，包括屬靈和屬世的權力；另外三篇，如《軍人是否也能得救？》則是有關「正義戰爭」的。
第三類是三篇有關基督徒與猶太人關係的文章，路德在其中充分地表達他對猶太人由友善轉為敵恨的態度及其神學依據。在此，我們能體會路德也難以苟免當時歐洲反閃族文化之巨浪！
第四類是路德的《反對非律主義者》乙篇。從中我們看到路德反對非律主義者的理據和其對律法比較整全的看法。」

《路德文集》卷五主編

"This is a wonderful anthology. Its texts not only span the whole of Luther's reforming career, but also cover the theological, political, and social issues that mattered most to him and his age. Best of all, the original integrity of the texts remains perceptible, even when abridged. This valuable collection will be a great teaching tool and also a most useful resource for anyone interested in Luther or the Protestant Reformation." —Carlos Eire, Yale University, author of Reformations: The Early Modern World, 1450-1650 (Yale University Press)

Index

Desiderius Eramsus (1466/9-1536) was the most renowned scholar of his age, a celebrated humanist and Classicist, and the first teacher of Greek at Cambridge. An influential figure in the Protestant Reformation, though without ever breaking from the Church himself, he satirised both human folly and the corruption of the Church. Martin Luther (1483-1546) was the founder of the German Reformation. His 95 Theses became a manifesto for reform of the Catholic Church and led to his being tried for heresy. He remained in Germany, Professor of Biblical Exegesis at the University of Wittenburg, until his death, publishing a large number of works, including three major treatises and a translation of the New Testament into German. Comprising Erasmus's "The Free Will" and Luther's "The Bondage of the Will," Discourse on Free Will is a landmark text in the history of Protestantism. Encapsulating the perspective on free will of two of the most important figures in the history of Christianity, it remains to this day a powerful, thought-provoking and timely work.

Written in a down-to-earth, accessible style, this timeless classic communicates the essential teachings of Martin Luther.

Perhaps no work of Martin Luther's so captures the revolutionary zeal and theological boldness of his vision as 'The Freedom of a Christian'.

This is Luther’s direct letter and treatise to Pope Leo X on his religious beliefs and a bruising analysis of the Catholic church. Luther strongly objected to making a new law of the forms and urged the retention of other good liturgies. While advocating Christian liberty in liturgical matters, he also spoke out in favor of maintaining and establishing liturgical uniformity among those sharing the same faith in a given area. "Concerning Christian Liberty" is a wonderful piece on Luther's balance between the Catholic Church and his teachings on liberty.
