Annotated Luther Study Edition, The : The Babylonian Captivity of the Church 1520
Overview: In the author book, set forth a reconsideration of the sacramental Christian life that centered on the Word. His thesis is that the papacy had distorted the sacraments with its own tradition and regulations, transforming them into a system of control and coercion... Yet the author does not replace one tyranny for another; his argument for a return to the biblical understanding of the sacraments is moderated by a consideration of traditions and external practices in relation to their effects on the individual conscience and faith.
