De qué trata
Un volumen de las obras de Lutero en la traducción inglesa conocida como edición de Filadelfia, publicada a principios del siglo XX.
Contexto e historia
Conviene recordar qué es un «volumen» aquí: una selección hecha por los editores modernos, no una unidad de Lutero, que escribió sobre todo escritos breves y ocasionales —sermones, panfletos, cartas abiertas, prefacios— a lo largo de treinta años y en dos lenguas, latín y alemán. La numeración de los volúmenes, pues, no dice nada sobre la cronología ni sobre el tema. Para citar a Lutero, la costumbre académica es remitir a la edición crítica de Weimar, que es la que da referencias estables.
Contexto editorial, no una fuente citable: a diferencia de los pasajes de la obra, estos datos no se pueden comprobar contra el corpus.
A TREATISE CONCERNING THE BLESSED SACRAMENT OF THE HOLY AND TRUE BODY OF CHRIST AND CONCERNING THE BROTHERHOODS INTRODUCTION This treatise belongs to a series of four which appeared in the latter half of the year 1519, the others treating of the Ban, Penance, and Baptism. The latter two with our treatise form a trilogy which Luther dedicates to the Duchess Margaret of Braunschweig and Lüneburg. He undertakes the work, as he says, "because there are so many troubled and distressed ones--and I myself have had the experience--who do not know what the holy sacraments, full of all grace, are, nor how to use them, but, alas! presume upon quieting their consciences with their works, instead of seeking peace in God's grace through the holy sacrament; so completely are the holy sacraments obscured and withdrawn from us by the teaching of men."[1] In a letter to Spalatin[2] of December 18, 1519, he says that no one need expect treatises from him on the other sacraments, since he cannot acknowledge them as such. A copy from the press of John Grünenberg of Wittenberg reached Duke George of Saxony by December 24, 1519, who on December 27th already entered his protest against it with the Elector Frederick and the Bishops of Meissen and Merseburg[3]. Duke George took exception particularly to Luther's advocacy of the two kinds in the Communion[4]. This statement of Luther, however, was but incidental to his broad and rich treatment of the subject of the treatise. It was Luther's first extended statement of his view of the Lord's Supper. As such it is very significant, not only because of what he says, but also because of what he does not say. There is no reference at all to that which was then distinctive of the Church's doctrine, the sacrifice of the mass.…
