| Summary | "Concerning Christian Liberty" by Martin Luther is a theological treatise written during the early 16th century, aligning with the time of the Reformation. The work addresses the concept of Christian freedom, emphasizing the relationship between faith, good works, and spiritual liberty in the life of a believer. Luther argues against the corrupt practices of the Roman Church and emphasizes that true justification and salvation come from faith alone rather than through works or adherence to legalistic traditions. The opening of the treatise consists of Luther's letter to Pope Leo X. He expresses his deep grievances against the corruption within the Church, positioning himself in a struggle against what he sees as tyranny and moral decay. Luther contends that he is wrongfully accused of speaking ill of the Pope and seeks to clarify his stance. He juxtaposes the outward appearance of Christian duties with the internal reality of faith, arguing that the spiritual nature of man finds true freedom through the word of God, which brings salvation. The subsequent sections lay a foundation for exploring Christian liberty as it relates to the interplay of faith, works, and the believer's relationship with God and others.
