A Treatise on Christian Liberty (Annotated)
Enriched Edition. On the Freedom of a ChristianBy Martin Luther
Length4h 19m
About this audiobook
Composed in 1520 at a decisive moment in the Reformation, A Treatise on Christian Liberty presents Martin Luther's paradoxical thesis: the Christian is "a perfectly free lord of all" and yet "a perfectly dutiful servant of all." Written with polemical clarity and pastoral warmth, the work fuses biblical exegesis, theological argument, and devotional rhetoric to explain justification by faith, the limits of works, and the inner freedom of the believer. It stands among the seminal texts of early Protestant thought. Martin Luther, an Augustinian friar and professor of theology at Wittenberg, wrote amid escalating conflict with papal authority after the Ninety-Five Theses. His intense study of Paul's epistles, his struggle with conscience, and his opposition to late medieval systems of merit shaped this treatise. Addressed to Pope Leo X, it combines deference with radical reforming conviction. This book is essential for readers seeking the theological heart of the Reformation. Concise yet profound, it rewards historians, theologians, students of rhetoric, and general readers interested in faith, conscience, and freedom.
