Well of course when something doesn’t fit your ideology, you saw Luther was quoted out of context. At first, when he broke from Rome, he said, Saint Jerome would condemn them, but Saint Augustine would side with him. Of course, as he read and read more of Saint Augustine, he realized that his doctrine of Justification was not found in Saint Augustine, and he eventually said, after that, he was also done with Saint Augustine. He would state that not one Scripture commentary of the Fathers was worth a darn and had the boldness to say that He and recovered the Gospel back to the Apostles. Is all that out of context as well.
He also wanted to throw out the Letter of Saint James, and even perhaps Hebrews, but his cohort talked him out of it. Was that taken out of context as well.
The sermon is historical, the quote IS taken out of context. Only Bill Clinton-type personalities can dispute that without busting out laughing. If you want to discuss some other Luther quote, that's another story. He certainly said and wrote much, most of which a Catholic wouldn't agree. But an honest man has to concede that quote is out of context.
He also wanted to throw out the Letter of Saint James, and even perhaps Hebrews, but his cohort talked him out of it. Was that taken out of context as well.
He translated all of the Bible. His view on Hebrews and James wasn't a lone voice nor was it an original criticism as the following shows.
