Because Luther wrote so much in so many different genres, the choice of only two texts provides a limited taste of his spirituality. But they open up a specific, central, and distinctive mark of his conception of the structure of Christian life. The name of the theme, justification by grace through faith, often spontaneously correlates with Luther's name and his theology. The phrase points to a key theological doctrine that centered his thinking; it lay so deeply ingrained in his outlook that it sometimes explicitly but always tacitly shaped all his early theological views and bestowed a distinctive character to his ethics and spirituality. The two texts are chosen to illustrate how the conviction represented by the phrase draws its authority from scripture, especially Paul, and was discursively analyzed in an early foundational work on Christian life, \u003ci\u003eThe Freedom of a Christian\u003c\/i\u003e. These texts do not represent all there is to say about spirituality in Luther's thought by any means, and this part should not be taken for the whole. But the coupling of these texts penetrates deeply into what may be called Luther's Christian spirituality of gratitude.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eI – Introduction to Luther and the Texts \u003c\/b\u003e  1\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eII – The Texts: Martin Luther on Justification by Grace through Faith\u003c\/b\u003e   19\u003cbr\u003e Selection from Luther's \u003ci\u003eLectures on Galatians\u003c\/i\u003e (1535)   21\u003cbr\u003e Martin Luther: \u003ci\u003eThe Freedom of a Christian\u003c\/i\u003e   74\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eIII – Grace and Gratitude: Appropriating Luther's Spirituality Today \u003c\/b\u003e  123\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eFurther Reading\u003c\/i\u003e   143\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eAbout the Series\u003c\/i\u003e   145\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eAbout the Editors\u003c\/i\u003e   151\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Fordham University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52676823679256,"sku":"9781531502225","price":8.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/grace-and-gratitude-spirituality-in-martin-luther-paperback-softback-9781531502225","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
