Written in 1520, Martin Luther's Three Treatises are foundational to the Protestant Reformation, as they challenge the authority of the Catholic Church and articulate key Protestant principles, such as sola scriptura (scripture alone) and sola fide (faith alone). Luther’s criticisms and reforms laid the groundwork for the emergence of various Protestant denominations and reshaped Christian doctrine and practice. Table Talks provides a more personal and informal view of Luther’s thought, offering a window into his personality and the intellectual environment of the Reformation. Both collections of writings are crucial for understanding the theological and historical impact of Martin Luther’s reformative efforts and his influence on the development of Protestant Christianity.
