Just published is the first volume of a new 55-volume edition of Luther's works in flexible, modern English. Prepared jointly by St. Louis' Concordia Publishing House and Philadelphia's Muhlenberg Press, an arm of the United Lutheran Church in America, the new Luther will range the whole gamut of the reformer's work.
