The Smalcald Articles is a religious treatise written by Martin Luther, one of the most influential figures of the Protestant Reformation. The book was first published in 1537 and consists of 28 articles that summarize the key beliefs of Lutheranism. The Smalcald Articles were written in response to a request from the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, who wanted to know what the Lutheran Church believed. The articles cover a wide range of topics, including the nature of God, the doctrine of the Trinity, the role of the Bible in Christian life, and the sacraments of baptism and communion. In addition to outlining the core beliefs of Lutheranism, the Smalcald Articles also address some of the controversies and challenges faced by the Lutheran Church at the time. For example, Luther discusses the issue of papal authority and the need for a reformed church that is not beholden to the Roman Catholic Church. Overall, The Smalcald Articles is an important historical document that provides insight into the beliefs and practices of the Lutheran Church during the Reformation era. It is still studied and revered by Lutherans around the world today.This hereditary sin is so deep and [horrible] a corruption of nature that no reason can understand it, but it must be [learned and] believed from the revelation of Scriptures, Ps. 51, 5; Rom. 6, 12 ff.; Ex. 33, 3; Gen. 3, 7 ff. Hence, it is nothing but error and blindness in regard to this article what the scholastic doctors have taught.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
