Commentary on St. Paul's Epistle to the Galatians
by Martin Luther
Summary
The importance of this Commentary on Galatians
for the history of Protestantism is very great. It presents like no
other of Luther’s writings the central thought of Christianity,
the justification of the sinner for the sake of Christ’s merits
alone. We have permitted in the final revision of the manuscript many
a passage to stand which seemed weak and ineffectual when compared
with the trumpet tones of the Latin original. But the essence of
Luther’s lectures is there. May the reader accept with
indulgence where in this translation we have gone too far in
modernizing Luther’s expression—making him “talk
American.”
