In 1530-1532 Dr. Martin Luther preached a sermon series on St. Matthew’s gospel on Wednesday evenings. This episode reviews his comments on the first four beatitudes. Volume 21 of Luther’s Works (American Edition) holds these sermons, and this volume also has Mike Yagley’s favorite…Luther’s comments on the Magnificat.

Thanks for the insights into Luther’s works! Provocatively helpful.
Who were the Radical Reformers? Were they known by that phrase? Did they publish contemporaneously with Luther? If so, what are their notable works? Besides eliciting Luther’s ire, how else did they influence Lutheranism?
Thank you.
The term radical reformers applies to the anabaptist movement and the group of theologians that looked beyond Scripture for direction from God, listening to an inner voice (like the quakers). This movement is contemporary to Luther and has been identified by some as the major shakers in the 1525 Peasant’s revolt.
