Especially around the Christmas season, it is natural for Lutherans to wonder, What does Martin Luther say about the nativity?
In this one-of-a-kind English print edition of his Christmas writings, Luther reinforces the wonderful miracle of Jesus’ birth. Luther preached these sermons to the Wittenberg congregation around Christmastime in 1531. In Luther at the Manger, the sermons are organized by daily reading schedules for the Advent or Christmas seasons. As you read, Luther invites you to ponder the mystery and majesty of the Son of God who became man and to find renewed awe and thanks for God’s plan for your salvation.
A sermon on Isaiah 9:6 by Luther’s trusted friend and secretary Veit Dietrich, a prayer from Johann Friedrich Starck called “Prayer for Christmas Day,” and a glossary are also included.
