There is much written on the web about Martin Luther and contemporary Lutherans. But sometimes it is helpful to return to the sources -- to let brother Martin speak for himself. As it happens -- for those of us who can't shell out to by the 55 volume American edition of Luther's works -- there are a number of websites that have Martin Luther's writings. So grab your cup of coffee (or your pint), kick back, and enjoy reading.
Project Wittenberg is probably the most extensive and well-known on-line collection of Luther's writings.Some of the Project Wittenberg Material is mirrored on the Christian Classics Ethereal Library (CCEL) page for Martin Luther, which also has a few additional writings.GodRules.net has a large collection of Luther's sermons and other writings -- I think from an older English translation of Luther's Works that has passed into public domain.The Internet Sacred Texts Collection has a small collection of Luther's writings, anchored by 9 sermons.Of course, found within the Book of Concord you find some of Luther's best loved writings: the Smaller and Larger Catechism, and the Schmalkald Articles.One of the more interesting collections of Luther material is that of Bible Researcher. Here you will find an assortment of Luther's quotes about Scripture, his Preface to Romans and Letter on Translating, as well as an interesting article about Luther's Bible.Did I miss a site with a nice collection of Luther's works? Leave me a note in the comments and I will check it out (please, not sites that just link to these sites).
