📖 About the Book

The Ninety-Five Theses and Other Writings brings together key works by Martin Luther, one of the most influential figures of the Protestant Reformation. The collection provides readers with an opportunity to explore Luther's religious arguments, criticisms, and theological ideas through some of his most important writings.

At the centre of the collection is The Ninety-Five Theses, the famous 1517 document that challenged contemporary practices surrounding indulgences and became a landmark in the history of Western Christianity. Alongside the Theses, the volume presents other writings that illuminate Luther's views on faith, repentance, Christian life, scripture, and religious reform.

Translated by William Russell, this Penguin Classics edition makes Luther's writings accessible to modern English-language readers and is particularly valuable for those studying Christian theology, church history, the Protestant Reformation, and European intellectual history.
