About this ebook
"A Treatise on Good Works" by Martin Luther allows readers to get to know the theologian and religious thinker whose radical reinvention of the Christian faith sparked the Protestant Reformation. In A Treatise on Good Works, Martin Luther expounds on his contention that although Christlike behavior is important, believers are redeemed ultimately through God's grace. Martin Luther was a German monk, Catholic priest, professor of theology and seminal figure of the 16th-century movement in Christianity known later as the Protestant Reformation.
