The Lenten Sermons of Martin Luther

Throughout his life, Luther was not merely a professor or scholar, but was also a pastor and preacher to his community and his university, and his devotion to the welfare of his people ran very deep. From 1521 through 1525, the sermons that he delivered in the churches in Wittenberg were painstakingly recorded and then published as the Kirchenpostille, the Church Sermons. Ten years later, Luther delivered another series of sermons, the Hauspostille, the House Sermons. The sermons that touch on the Lent from both these series are included in this edition, intended as a source of Lenten devotions.
