To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" The liberty of a Christian man sounds out the message of the Epistle to the Galatians, which inspires this tract. True liberty means not legalistic, Judaistic bondage to the law, but freedom in the Gospel. It is an appeal for freedom in Christ, but not free- dom from Christ. It is a clear and tender setting forth of the po- sition of the child of God, who is free from all legal obligations through faith, but a debtor to all goodness and all men through love. It breathes the spirit of the Paul...ine conceptions of faith, grace and love, never to be dissociated from good works as their expression. It manifests the spirit of tranquillity and com- forting assurance in a period of angry controversy, and places its author not only in the list of great Christian leaders, but also among the saints and scriptural mystics of all ages. Prof. A. C. McGiffirt calls this writing of Luther the most beautiful of all his works and the one which contains the finest statement of his Christian faith. These three documents, which have been called the "Primary Works of the Reformation, " mark the crisis of the movement.
