Almost all the discussions about Luther are stuck in the About stage. Individuals take a concept or a book about Luther and waste everyone's time on superficial repetition. That is why the Big Four - ELCA-WELS-ELS-LCMS continue to teach Universalism with the fire of their Father Below. The irony is profound - The Church of Rome teaches that no one is forgiven, so even the best of the best spend a few days in Purgatory. The Big Four teach that everyone is forgiven - "Everyone! Everyone!" - so grace without faith is taught without any comprehension, contrary to Romans and the entire Bible.

The untouched volumes behind George Borghardt show absolutely no wear - his roaring and posturing cover his message while uncovering his lack of scholarship.
The best way to learn Luther is to study and wear out his sermons, instead of flipping through his books - or more often - glancing at bloated books about him. That is so far into The About Mode that the same quips are circulated shamelessly.
I feature the Lenker edition of Luther's Sermons because the preached sermon was especially important to the Reformer and most edifying for his readers. I post Daily Luther Sermon Quotes so people can read parts and study separately the entire sermon for the next Sunday. That label has been used 205 times.
I make the text bold and blue to point out some of the most significant statements.
The sermons were gathered as examples of sermons about that particular reading, which is why so many of them go far beyond the limits of a sermon preached at a church. They are Scriptural proclamations with great insights, so much to teach us, so horrible for the false teachers who scream and rage, using all the tools of logical fallacies.
