Luther's Bible Commentary
Considered to be among those works essential to an understanding of Martin Luther's theology, Luther's Commentary on Galatians is a timeless exposition of Paul's central thought in Galatians: "The just shall live be faith."
Martin Luther was a German priest and professor of theology who initiated the Protestant Reformation. He strongly disputed the claim that freedom from God's punishment of sin could be purchased with money. He confronted indulgence salesman Johann Tetzel with his Ninety-Five Theses in 1517. His refusal to retract all of his writings at the demand of Pope Leo X in 1520 and the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V at the Diet of Worms in 1521 resulted in his excommunication by the pope and condemnation as an outlaw by the emperor.
His translation of the Bible into the language of the people (instead of Latin) made it more accessible, causing a tremendous impact on the church and on German culture. It fostered the development of a standard version of the German language, added several principles to the art of translation, and influenced the translation into English of the King James Bible. His hymns influenced the development of singing in churches. His marriage to Katharina von Bora set a model for the practice of clerical marriage, allowing Protestant priests to marry.

5 stars if the commentary wasn't stuck in Galatians. Tried an uninstall reinstall with no luck!
Would have been nice if all the bible books are present. Only found Galatians. Wasted data.
When you tap on a book it shows the book in front of it. The commentary doesn't work
Easily accessible information for daily study.

It helps to understand God's plan for new testament believes.God Bless you.
I love this and may the Lord bless you
To answer the last few reviews; the description clearly says Galatians commentary with Holy Bible, not whole Bible commentary. My only issue is that the program runs too many of my phone's resources and has too many adds. Also, this is a rather poor translation of Luther. Look for older copies.
This commentary change my life for life...I mean I read it back and front until I got lost in God's plan in the new covenant... I'm glad it is now in app. Pls download it and get changed
EXCEPTIONAL STUDY FOR TODAY'S GENERATIONS IN THESE LAST DAYS
One of the Best Bible study app so far... Awesome. Thanks
I can't navigate through the bible. I got stuck in Galatians and can't get to any other part of the Bible.
