First Principles of the Reformation or the Ninety-five Theses and the Three Primary Works (Editor) -- from
Description: "I, Martin Luther, Doctor, of the Order of
Monks at Wittemberg, desire to testify publicly that certain
propositions against pontifical indulgences, as they call them, have
been put forth by me." This volume is a collection of several works by
the father of the Reformation, Martin Luther, edited by Henry Wace.
First is a series of introductory essays by Wace and others, and a
synopsis of the theology of the Reformation in his famous 95 Theses.
These Theses are, per the title, included in this work. The other three
primary works in this publication are: "To the Christian Nobility of the
German Nation Respecting the Reformation of the Christian Estate,"
"Concerning Christian Liberty," and "On the Babylonish Captivity of the
Church." All three are a collection of writings and letters Luther
authored on each religious issue. All three pieces, as well as the
Theses, are valuable works of literature written by one of the most
important Christian figures ever, and should be studied and
treasured.

NPNF2-08. Basil: Letters and Select Works (editor)
Description: With over twenty volumes, the Nicene and
Post-Nicene Fathers is a momentous achievement. Originally gathered
by
Philip Schaff, the Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers is a collection
of
writings by classical and medieval Christian theologians. The purpose of
such a collection is to make their writings readily available. The
entire work is divided into two series, each with fourteen volumes. The
second series focuses on a variety of important Church Fathers, ranging
from the fourth century to the eighth century. This volume contains
selected works of St. Basil the Great. St. Basil is well-known for his
care for the poor and his important impact upon the communal practices
of the monastic life. The Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers are
comprehensive in scope, and provide keen translations of instructive and
illuminating texts from some of the great theologians of the Christian
church. These spiritually enlightening texts have aided Christians for
over a thousand years, and remain instructive and fruitful even today!
