Luther€™s Works: The American Edition, published by Concordia and Fortress Press between 1955 and 1986, comprises fifty-five volumes. These are a selection representing only about a third of Luther€™s works in the Latin and German of the standard Weimar Edition, not including the German Bible. The Reformer€™s lectures on the First Book of Moses must be numbered among the great works in the field of exegetical writing. Unlike many scholars who have undertaken to expound Genesis, Luther is not afraid to adhere strictly to the letter of what Moses wrote. He does not indulge in wild allegories. He does not tear words or sentences out of their context. He knows that Genesis is the Word of God. Therefore he approaches the book with awe and reverence. His is a genuinely Christian commentary. This volume discusses Genesis 1€”5, including the Creation, the Fall, the First Brothers, and the line of Adam.

Lutherâ€™s Works: The American Edition, published by Concordia and Fortress Press between 1955 and 1986, comprises fifty-five volumes. These are a selection representing only about a third of Lutherâ€™s works in the Latin and German of the standard Weimar Edition, not including the German Bible. The Lectures on Genesis are remarkably extensive in their sweep and give conclusive proof of extraordinary diligence. Luther expounds Scripture in the light of Scripture. Furthermore, he couches his treatment of the Biblical text in a language of simplicity without compromising his forthright way of speaking that evidences profound learning. In the third volume of the American Edition of Lutherâ€™s Works (Genesis 15â€”20) the great man of God deals with numerous happenings in the colorful and exciting career of Abraham, the father of the faithful. As he does so, he pays special attention to Sarah, Hagar, Ishmael, Lot, and others. He is always at pains to point to the guiding hand of God. Human beings often sinâ€”either willfully or out of the weakness of the fleshâ€”but God is always present to shape the course of events and to reveal abiding love as well as unflinching justice. The great master holds his readers spellbound as he discourses on the Biblical narrative and applies Scriptural truths to what happened in the past, to what is taking place in his own time, and to what is bound to occur in the future.

Luther-s Works: The American Edition, published by Concordia and Fortress Press between 1955 and 1986, comprises fifty-five volumes. These are a selection representing only about a third of Luther-s works in the Latin and German of the standard Weimar Edition, not including the German Bible. In this volume (Genesis 26-30) Luther comments trenchantly and in a God-fearing manner on a somewhat complicated concatenation of events in the life of the patriarch Jacob. Esau has sold his birthright to Jacob for a mess of pottage. Issac aims to bestow a deathbed blessing on Esau. But in cahoots with Rebecca, Jacob cleverly succeeds in tricking Issac into giving him his brother-s blessing. The blessing is irrevocable. Jacob is sent away to the home of Laban, his uncle, -to take a wife from there.- On the way Jacob has a dream that the Lord tells him he will be given the land that he is traveling on. When Jacob arrives on his uncle-s land, he meets the beautiful Rachel and falls in love with her. Before Jacob can be wed, though, he must work for Laban for 7 years. After 7 years time, when Jacob was to then receive Rachel, Laban tricks him into serving for another 7 years to get Rachel. Luther discusses this involved account sagaciously and with due reverence. He does not deal in a flippant manner with matters pertaining to sex, for he realizes that the story of Jacob-s adventures and deeds has not been set forth in vain. He never fails to bear in mind that all Scripture is profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction and for training in righteousness.

Luther's Works, Volume 5: Lectures on Genesis, Chapters 26-30

Lutherâs Works: The American Edition, published by Concordia and Fortress Press between 1955 and 1986, comprises fifty-five volumes. These are a selection representing only about a third of Lutherâs works in the Latin and German of the standard Weimar Edition, not including the German Bible. In this section of Lutherâs Lectures on Genesis (31â37) the subject is the mature child of God in the school of adversity. Says Luther, âWe have seen the triumphs and glory of Jacob â¦ let us now also descend with him into hell and see his sadness and terror.â Extensive treatment is given to a mounting series of afflictions for Jacob. In every affliction, Jacob âwrestles with great infirmity,â and one trial may be termed âlightâ only by comparison with another. Luther is also interested in pointing out the antidote for all adversityâthe comforting mercy of God. This comfort is in Jesus Christ; therefore Luther observes: âThese emphatic words, which Moses scatters like jewels here and there in his writings, are wonderfully sweet, provided they are referred to Christ.â Luther does not hesitate to draw comparisons: âThese things are written to comfort us so that we may know that our afflictions and disasters are not extreme.â

Luther's Works, Volume 7 (Lectures on Genesis Chapters 38-44) (Luther's Works (Concordia))

Luther's Works: The American Edition, published by Concordia and Fortress Press between 1955 and 1986, comprises fifty-five volumes. These are a selection representing only about a third of Luther's works in the Latin and German of the standard Weimar Edition, not including the German Bible. In this volume Luther concludes his Lecture on Genesis (45 50). Joseph, whom God has made lord of all Egypt, reveals himself to his brothers. I am your brother, Joseph, whom you sold into Egypt. Although he has the power to sentence them to severe punishment for their heinous crime, he gives them full forgiveness. Since his heart has been pining away for his aged father, he orders his brothers to return in haste to their homeland and to bring Jacob to Egypt. When Jacob hears the good news, his disconsolate spirit revives. Then he and his household 70 souls in all migrate to Egypt and settle in the land of Goshen. I can do no more, says Luther after he has completed his last lecture on the Book of Genesis. But could any theologian have done more? Although Luther was by no means full of physical vigor when he delivered these discourses, his mind was razor-sharp and constantly alert. His comprehensive acquaintance with Scripture is always in evidence.

Luther's Works Lectures on Genesis Volume 8 /Chapters 45-50 (Luther's Works)

Luther's Works: The American Edition, published by Concordia and Fortress Press between 1955 and 1986, comprises fifty-five volumes. These are a selection representing only about a third of Luther's works in the Latin and German of the standard Weimar Edition, not including the German Bible. Luther did not agree with the view of many Bible scholars who considered the five books of Moses to be of small value. He saw them as a wellspring of all-important knowledge and understanding. Far from seeing the Book of Deuteronomy as a list of dry laws that had little to do with faith, Luther's Lectures on Deuteronomy was an effort to apply the Deuteronomic interpretation of the Mosaic Law and covenant to both the flesh and the spirit.
