This volume covers the remaining theses and disputations from 1516 through about 1537. They cover Luther’s questioning of sacramental theology and show the development of the theology of promise. Additionally, they dive into conversations surrounding Aristotle and Plato, celibacy, and justification by faith.

These disputations offer Luther’s extended systematic exploration of the central doctrines of Christian theology, drawn from his mature reflection on the Bible, the medieval theological tradition, and the church fathers, in dialogue and debate with his contemporary opponents. They are an invaluable resource for students of Luther, historians of the Reformation, and contemporary theologians.
