Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Critical and Exegetical Hand-Book to the Epistle to the Ephesians, Vol. 1 "The Epistle to the Galatians is my epistle. I have betrothed myself to it. It is my wife." These words of Luther express most forcibly the relation of the first epistle treated in this volume to the great struggles whereby Protestant Christianity came into being as the revivification of the pure gospel taught by St. Paul. The doctrine of justification by faith alone without works, the articulus vel stantis vel cadentis ecclesiae, is its great theme, which is unfolded with matchless skill and defended with intensest ardor against the various perversions so abundant in modern Christianity, that had already manifested themselves in apostolic days. Luther´s own commentary of 1519, of which John Bunyan said: "I do prefer this book of Martin Luther upon the, Galatians, excepting the Holy Bible, before all books that I have ever seen, as most fit for a wounded conscience," owes all its power to the high degree with which Luther has caught the spirit of Paul, and applies his argument, with the same earnestness to the relations of a later time. It should be a matter of special gratitude, that, however fierce the battle waged over some of the other epistles of Paul, the authenticity of this epistle, which pertains to the very centre of our faith, is all but universally conceded, only one writer (Bruno Baur), and that one not of very high repute, having ventured to question it, and that, too, on assumptions that can be instantly answered. The entire theory of salvation by faith and works, which modern Pelagianism would introduce into Protestantism, is at once met in unmistakable words, as well as, also, the suggestion that original Christianity was legalistic until St. Paul introduced the new element of evangelical freedom, since this epistle asserts so emphatically the harmony between the apostles. The epistle to the Ephesians, belonging to a later period, when the apostle was forcibly restrained from engaging in the active prosecution of his life work, admits us into some of the great thoughts that engaged his meditations.
