The writings from 1530 and succeeding years are often considered as coming from the pen of the 'old Luther.' Yet the treatises from this period in the present volume give no hint of a decrease in Luther's firm grasp of the meaning of the Gospel for his age. Thirteen of the fourteen treatises appear in their entirety in an English translation for the first time with publication of this volume including several of his debates held at the University of Wittenberg between 1535 and 1542.
