Historical and theological introduction -- The Bondage of the Will. Introduction -- Review of Erasmus' preface -- Review of Erasmus' introduction -- Review of Erasmus' arguments for free will -- Review of Erasmus' treatment of texts that deny free will -- The Bible doctrine of the bondage of the will -- Conclusion.
Subject: The Bondage of the Will is fundamental to an understanding of the primary doctrines of the Reformation. In these pages, Luther gives extensive treatment to what he saw as the heart of the gospel. Free will was no academic question to Luther; the whole gospel of the grace of God, he believed, was bound up with it and stood or fell according to the way one decided it. Luther affirms our total inability to save ourselves and the sovereignty of divine grace in our salvation. He upholds the doctrine of justification by faith and defends predestination as determined by the foreknowledge of God. - Back cover.
