"Works of Martin Luther, with Introductions and Notes (Volume II)" by Martin Luther is a collection of religious writings that explores Christian beliefs and church customs. It takes a close at the Lord's Supper and the idea of Christians being united as brothers and sisters. Through his writings, Luther tries to clear up common confusions about the spiritual meaning of sacred rituals and highlight the importance of community among believers. The book begins by looking at a piece written in 1519 about the Holy Sacrament, where Luther talks about common misconceptions of holy sacraments and their spiritual implications. The writings draw on the importance of faith and a deep spiritual connection with Christ and all holy people, while arguing against some of superficial religious brotherhoods. Overall, he breaks down the sacrament's outer symbols and spiritual signs calling for a return to real Christian fellowship built on love and service.
