Publisher's Synopsis
Thoroughly researched and faithfully translated, the Luther's Works series consists of Martin Luther's Bible commentaries, sermons, prefaces, postils, disputations, letters, theology, and polemics, translated and published in English for the first time.
Luther's Works, Volume 15 (Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon & Last Words of David) offers interpretations of three Old Testament texts that are often poorly translated or often misinterpreted. Luther provides fresh interpretations of Ecclesiastes and the Song of Solomon, calling upon readers to view them as "Solomon's Economics" and "Solomon's Politics." Luther then offers readers a line-by-line commentary on 1 Samuel 23:1-7, as an example of simple, clear interpretation that keeps as its goal "to recognize our dear Lord and Savior clearly and distinctly in Scripture."
