Description
Excerpt from The Creation: A Commentary on the First Five Chapters of the Book of Genesis
It is most remarkable that this precious and richly matured commentary, - was the last public work of Luther''s minis try and life; and it will, in all human and solemn proba bility, be the last effort of the life and public services of his feeble Translator. Luther''s bodily and mental powers had been worn down to the last thread, by a forty years'' duration of professorial, ministerial, and antagonistic exertions when he breathed his last, under the pressure of that threefold weight. The Translator''s frame and constitution have been borne down to a like extremity of disability by 47g years of scholastic toil, trial, and trouble and by a 40 years'' labour of preaching the truth, and writing in its dissemination and defence.
