Reading Luther

Every so often a complete set of Luther's Works appears and is sold, passed around like the Christmas fruitcake. I wonder how much the complete sets are read.

There are many good ways to start Luther:

1. The Large Catechism is a neglected part of our Book of Concord. Edited from Luther's Sermons, the Large Catechism can be read over and over. The ALC (1960 avatar) published this separately as a paperback.
2. Luther's Sermons. The old 8-volume set was replaced by a 4-volume set, then supplemented by an additional 3-volume set. Christian Book Distributors has great prices for Luther and Lenski.
3. Galatians commentary - one of Luther's greatest works.
4. Romans commentary - worth reading.
5. What Luther Says - Originally a 3-volume set, now published in one by Concordia Publishing House.
6. Day by Day We Magnify Thee - Still a steady seller from Augsburg-Fortress. This is a set of daily devotions comprised of short selections from Luther.

Many of these Luther works were printed by the Reformed in Grand Rapids, who know that a good theologian sells books.
