Founder of the Lutheran Church, his Protestant movement against the dominant Catholicism altered the course of European history. His fortitude in confronting and overcoming corruption within the Church hierarchy is legendary. He was a man of great intellect and unmatched moral courage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut Luther had other opponents: the Jews. Judaism not only repudiated Christian theology by denying that Jesus was the true savior or Messiah, but it also took on an air of supreme arrogance-Jews as special, as different, as \"chosen by God.\" As such, Jews are unwilling to repent, to accept Christ, or to see the true meaning of the Old Testament; hence they slander and insult Jesus, Mary, and indeed all Christians. Jews, said Luther, harbor an intense and deeply-rooted hatred for all non-Jews, and thus are willing to use, abuse, and exploit people for their own ends. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor Luther, Jews are arrogant and stubborn liars. They are greedy materialists, ever covetous of Christian wealth and power. They are congenital misanthropes, the master haters of humanity. And through their damnable usury-lending money at interest-they exploit, bankrupt, and enslave innocent people everywhere. Given the chance, said Luther, they would slaughter us all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHence his dramatic plan of action: destroy the synagogues, ban Judaic teaching, confiscate ill-gotten Jewish wealth, put Jews to hard labor, and ultimately, drive them out of Christian lands. Jews are incorrigible corrupters of humanity, and nothing less would get to the root of the problem.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eOn the Jews and Their Lies\u003c\/em\u003e thus stands as one of the most remarkable books in history.

The work was treasured by Martin Luther, the 15th century German priest, scholar, and father of the Protestant Reformation. For this reason, Luther delivered lectures on the \"Epistle to the Galatians\" in 1531 and published those lectures in 1535. The resulting \"Commentary on Galatians\" by Luther is widely regarded as one of the most important commentaries ever written on Christian faith and love. Deeply personal and at least in part autobiographical, Luther explains why St. Paul's \"Epistle to the Galatians\" is so important and meaningful to both him and to the Christian faith. Paul's \"Epistle\" and Luther's \"Commentary\" have assured countless Christians of the superiority of the Bible over human reason, the perfection of Christ's sacrifice and atonement through his death, and the essential doctrine of justification through faith alone as the foundation for all Christians. Moving and passionate, Luther expresses the strength and comfort that he has found in this faith. This masterpiece continues to remain as inspiring and important to Christians today in understanding their faith as it has been for the last five hundred years. Presented here is the condensed translation by Theodore Graebner.
