In autumn 1525, Luther wrote The Bondage of the Will as a response
to humanist and theologian Erasmus of Rotterdam's On Free Will.
Luther's treatise is important on four accounts: First, Luther
wanted to show his own humanist education. Second, against Erasmus,
who had maintained that the question of free will could not be
decided just on the basis of the Bible, Luther stressed the clarity
imbedded in Scripture. Third, Luther stressed that his denial of
the free will pertained to the issue of salvation, while in other
areas of life not relevant for this fundamental existential matter,
free will could be acknowledged. Finally, he introduces the
distinction of the revealed and the hidden God to make clear that a
Christian must focus on God as shown in Jesus Christ rather than
speculating about God's potency in general. Luther's argument on
the matter of the bound and free will poses a challenge and an
invitation for constructive contemporary theology. This volume is
excerpted from The Annotated Luther series, Volume 2. Each volume
in the series contains annotations, illustrations, and notes to
help shed light on Luther's context and to interpret his writings
for today.
