Commentary on the Epistle to the Galatians

Commentary on the Epistle to the Galatians is a book by Martin Luther, first published in 1535. It is one of Luther’s most influential theological works and reflects the core of his Reformation doctrine—justification by faith alone. Written during a period of intense theological conflict, the commentary lays out Luther’s interpretation of Paul’s letter to the Galatians, emphasizing Christian liberty, the contrast between law and grace, and the rejection of legalism.

Luther's forceful and passionate exegesis was both a defense of his own teachings and a broader call for reform within the Church. The work had a profound impact on Protestant theology and remains a key text for understanding the theological foundations of the Reformation. As both a theological treatise and a spiritual document, it continues to be studied for its insights into grace, freedom, and the Christian life.
