Most of Christianity Today Is Little More Than Rehashed Law Pounding

It is difficult to get through Luther's commentary on Galatians. The reason for this is the manner in which he expounds on almost every passage. He keeps reiterating the Law and Gospel. It is very comforting to read these segments here at Ichabod. Most of what tries to pass as Christianity today is just rehashed Law pounding. A repentant sinner is terrified even more by this. Luther's Large Catechism is written in a similar fashion.

GJ - Luther's Galatians Commentary is more of a one-volume commentary on the entire Bible. It is a mature work, as one can see from the date. The Augsburg Confession was already published. Many of Luther's best work came after Augsburg in 1530.
Like the Book of Concord, Galatians should be read and appreciated in small sections at a time.
