Luther was particularly focused on what the word does in order to create and sustain faith. Writings in the volume range from the large core documents Bondage of the Will , Against the Heavenly Prophets , The Smalcald Articles , and Large Catechism to Luthers own Confession of Faith and treatments of Moses, the Gospels, and Two Kinds of Righteousness .
