Martin Luther's Ninety-Five Theses

The 95 Theses are reproduced in their entirety, with an introduction and explanatory notes to aid readers in discerning the significance of Luther’s call to reformation. “The Ninety-Five Theses is a text that everyone knows, most refer to, but few actually read,” writes Stephen Nichols. “Nevertheless, it is such a crucial text that it deserves to be read widely.” Toward that end, Nichols has prepared this edition with an illuminating introduction, explanatory notes, and several illustrations. “Martin Luther has left a legacy that continues to enrich the church through his writings. . . ,” writes Nichols. “All of this may be traced back to the last day in October 1517 and the nailing of the Ninety-Five Theses to the church door.”
