Kregel edition
 I was suggesting the Kregel green paperback, Luther's Galatians Commentary. I am going to post and use the Graebner edition instead.

This link seems to be the same one, the Kregel:

We will start the Sunday after this. We are finishing Hebrews 13 this Sunday.

I will be preparing an orderly set of graphics based on the Kregel, using those quotations and page numbers.

Another option is the American Edition, which is two volumes. That is more expensive, even on the used market. But if you have it - hey.

And there are other editions and the Kregel. The one I have posted on the blog (links above) is a shorter version. I wonder if it was an earlier effort. I have not found out yet.

The larger version is a late commentary, very mature in expressing Luther on justification by faith.

Ichabod -

Are you going to post a comment on the Steadfastscrubbing .org "Lutheran" website alerting them of this Luther [online] treasure, since they have been forbidden by their moderators and the McCaininites from accessing this site?

GJ - Steadfast blocked me without telling me. Some time ago I posted one or two non-threatening things, part of a discussion.
