The Bondage of the Will

Along with Erasmus's On Free Will, Martin Luther's On the Bondage of the Will is one of Christian literature s great classics. In this 16th century work, Luther claims that Erasmus s argument of free will s existence is not valid due to an overwhelming influence of sin. On the Bondage of the Will is a fascinating glimpse into not only one of the most recognized minds of Europe s sixteenth century thinking men, but also the daily religious challenges many Europeans faced during the early Reformation period.
