Commentary on Galatians

A landmark of the Reformation, this verse-by-verse exposition of Paul's epistle to the Galatians sets forth justification by faith alone with towering clarity and pastoral urgency. Luther distinguishes the righteousness of the law from the passive righteousness of Christ, shows how the gospel liberates troubled consciences from sin and condemnation, and confronts every form of works-righteousness — Papist, Anabaptist, and Pharisaic alike. Born from Luther's own agonies of conscience, it remains one of history's most powerful defenses of grace.
