Selected Sermons of Luther

As a pastor in Wittenberg, and as an influential theologian of the Reformation, Luther preached numerous sermons; this selection of more than 100 sermons is taken from his Postil, initially composed between 1520 and 1527 at the request of Elector Prince Frederick of Saxony. These sermons were written , intended for use by preachers at the time who had difficulty in working out their own sermons – an inspiring homiletical tool, rooted in the evangelical faith. The Postil (a collection of sermons, or running commentary) follows the Sundays and Holy Days of the Church Year, providing one or more sermons for each day on gospel and epistle texts. Luther wrote and prepared the first sermons himself; later sermons were taken down in writing, from Luther's preaching or other dictation, to produce the 'final' edition of 1543. Luther called his Postil "the best of all his books". This electronic collection is organized according to the Church Calendar, with a separate scripture verse index.
