Luther’s Works, Volume 62 (Sermons on Exodus 1-20)

This volume contains a selection of Luther’s preaching on the first two books of the Bible roughly within the years 1523-25. Luther preached during these years in the context the controversies sparked by Andreas Bodenstein von Karlstadt, Thomas Münzer, and the Peasants’ War. The question of the day was how contemporary Christians ought to respond to Moses’ Law. Where his opponents claimed the laws still bound Christians in some areas like images in worship or ceremonial law, Luther aimed to clarify the role of the Law of Moses for Christians. He returnes frequently to theological themes from the early years of his public career and to autobiographical reflection, working to convey the significance of the conservative Reformation to a zealous new generation asking new questions about their relation to the Old Testament.

This volume includes original English translations of the following works by Luther:

  • Sermon and Introduction to Genesis (1523)
  • Dr. Martin Luther’s Exposition of Several Chapters of the Second Book of Moses [Exodus 1-18] (1524-25/1563)
  • Sermons on Exodus 19-20 (1525/1528)
  • Luther’s Preface to Volume 1 of Lectures on Genesis (1544)

“Among the greatest and most prolific theologians of Christian history, Martin Luther still speaks to us today. This 20-volume new series splendidly complements its 55-volume predecessor and offers a treasure trove of writings never before available in English.”

—Mark U. Edwards Jr., Academic Dean, Harvard Divinity School

“Kudos to Concordia Publishing House and its editors for embarking on a twenty-volume addition to Luther’s Works. . . . Pastors, professors, and students will profit from the judicious choice of Luther’s sermons, disputations, and exegetical works.”

—Carter Lindberg, Professor of Church History Emeritus, Boston University School of Theology

“This supplement to the historic edition of the reformer’s writings is bringing significant additions to the texts from his pen than are currently available in English. . . . The volumes are being edited according to the highest academic standards and their introductions and notes offer readers helpful guides to the context and content of the reformer’s writings. Casual readers and those seeking to expand and deepen their knowledge of the Reformation will profit greatly from these.”

—Robert Kolb, Emeritus Missions Professor of Systematic Theology, Concordia Seminary

About Martin Luther

Martin Luther (November 10, 1483–February 18, 1546) is remembered as “Doctor biblicus,” the Father of Protestantism, and the founder of Lutheranism. As an Augustinian Hermit and professor of theology in Wittenberg, Germany, Luther began by opposing the sale of indulgences, an action that thrust him into international fame. Eventually, he called for a thorough reformation of church teaching and practice based on Holy Scripture alone.

Luther's Works is part of the Lutheran Church Fathers Subscription Program.
