The Annotated Luther

Six volumes of fresh translations with running annotation and illustration, aimed at readers rather than specialists. Volume 4, Pastoral Writings, collects most of the consolation literature in one place, including the Sermon on Preparing to Die and the consolation for women after a difficult pregnancy.

How to get it

We cannot host this one. That is not a reason to pretend it does not exist. Below is every honest route we know of, publisher first, because they are the ones who paid the translators.
