audiobook Cosmic Order and Cultural Astronomy: Sacred Cities of India (Planet Earth Cultural Understanding) by Rana P.B. Singh in History

Description

By almost any reckoning; the Ninety-Five Theses ranks as the most important text of the Reformation; if not in substance at least in impact. As the anniversary of their posting on the church door in Wittenberg approaches; what better way to remember and recognize the occasion than to make this important text more easily understood by twenty-first-century readers?Timothy J. Wengert; one of the best-know interpreters of Luther and Lutheranism active today; sets his newly translated Ninety-Five Theses in its historical context with a detailed introduction and illuminating study notes. To help the reader understand the context and the import of the Ninety-Five Theses more deeply; Wengert provides two more related and essential documents: Luther's Letter to Archbishop Albrecht of Mainz (to which he appended a copy of the Theses) and Luther's 1518 Sermon on Indulgences and Grace (written to inform the German-speaking public of his view of indulgences).The book is simply constructed with introductions and notes for each of the writings; as well as a study guide with questions for individual or group reflection and conversation.
