About the eBook

In Martin Luther's 'The Bondage of the Will', the author presents a scathing critique of free will within the context of the Protestant Reformation. Written in a clear and straightforward manner, Luther argues against the notion of human free will in salvation, asserting the sovereignty of God's grace. Drawing upon biblical texts and engaging with the writings of his opponent, Erasmus, Luther dismantles the idea that humans have the power to choose their own salvation. The book is a significant theological work that challenges preconceived notions of free will and emphasizes the importance of divine grace in the Christian faith. Martin Luther, a key figure in the Reformation, was driven to write 'The Bondage of the Will' in response to Erasmus' defense of free will. Luther's deep knowledge of theology and commitment to his convictions shine through in this work, as he presents a compelling argument in favor of predestination and divine sovereignty. His background as a theologian and reformer lends credibility to his polemic against free will. I highly recommend 'The Bondage of the Will' to readers interested in the theological debates of the Reformation era, as well as those seeking a deeper understanding of the complex relationship between human agency and divine sovereignty in Christian theology.
