Sermons of Martin Luther: Church Postils
8 Volume CD Set
Several years ago Baker House reissued an eight-volume set of books, Sermons of Martin Luther: Church Postils, translated by John Nicholas Lenker. First published in 1905, it was a must-have for any theologian. The text was written in a long-forgotten style, but all the more gracefully elegant because of it.
While I have read these sermons — many of them several times, nothing compares to hearing them read by Pr. Michael McCoy of Emmett, ID. His deep, resonant voice lends a rich quality to the recordings. The inflection of the spoken word nuances meaning; ears perk up when eyelids would tend to droop across text. The musical interludes between each reading are beautifully arranged and recorded.
Scholia.net presents the Sermons of Martin Luther: Church Postils in a package of eight CDs formatted for MP3. This provides eighty-one hours of listening time. Permission is granted with each purchase to copy the CDs for sharing with friends and relatives.
Other CD titles are also available from Scholia.net, including a newly recorded sampler, The Writings of Martin Luther, Gerhard's Sacred Meditations, and A Commentary on St. Paul's Epistle to the Galatians.
