Commentary on Genesis, Vol. 2: Luther on Sin and the Flood

Contents of Luther Martin Commentary on Genesis, Vol. 2

This, the second volume of Luther’s great commentary on Genesis, appears now in English for the first time.

It covers chapters four to nine inclusive of Genesis. The subjects discussed are: Cain’s murder, his punishment, Cain’s sons, Seth and his sons, the wickedness of the old world, the ark, Noah’s obedience, the universal destruction, the salvation of Noah’s family, his sacrifice, his blessing, the rainbow covenant, Noah’s fall, Ham cursed and Shem and Japheth blessed. These great themes are discussed by Moses and Luther. They have vital relations to problems pertaining to the end of the modern world. Our hope and prayer are that God may use this volume to make the book of Genesis and the whole Old Testament a greater spiritual blessing to the Church and that it may serve the servants of God in these latter days in calling people to repentance, faith and prayer like Noah and Luther did.

In his “Dear Genesis” Luther proved that the free Evangelical religion he taught was not new, but as old as the first book of the Bible, and that it does not consist in outward forms, organizations and pomp, but in true faith in Christ in our hearts and lives. Genesis contains the only historic records accessible of the first 2364 years of the 4004 years before Christ. It is worthy of study in our day as it was in the days of the Reformation.
