This edition of the Bondage of the Will was translated by Henry
Cole in 1823. "Free will was no academic question to Luther; the
whole Gospel of the grace of God, he held, was bound up with it,
and stood or fell according to the way one decided it . . . . It is
not the part of a true theologian, Luther holds, to be unconcerned,
or to pretend to be unconcerned, when the Gospel is in danger . . .
. The doctrine of the Bondage of the Will in particular was the
corner-stone of the Gospel and the foundation of faith'' (40-41,
emphasis added). ''In particular, the denial of free will was to
Luther the foundation of the Biblical doctrine of grace, and a
hearty endorsement of that denial was the first step for anyone who
would understand the Gospel and come to faith in God. The man who
has not yet practically and experimentally learned the bondage of
his will in sin has not yet comprehended any part of the Gospel"
"Justification by faith only is a truth that needs interpretation.
The principle of sola fide by faith alone] is not rightly
understood till it is seen as anchored in the broader principle of
sola gratia by grace alone]; . . . for to rely on one s self for
faith is not different in principle from relying on one s self for
works" The Bible teaches that faith itself is and has to be, a gift
of God, by grace, and not of self (Ephesians 2:8). It is safe to
deduce that for Luther, any evangelist who advocates free will has
not only ''not yet comprehended any part of the Gospel, '' but also
that he has not yet preached the Gospel at all; his is a
counterfeit gospel.Luther was ordered to recant his teachings on
threat of excommunication. Luther thundered, ''Unless I am
convinced by Scriptures and plain reason for Luther, this meant
logic], my conscience is captive to the Word of God. I cannot and I
will not recant anything. Here I stand, I can do no other " From a
review in The Trinity Review] Martin Luther (1483-1546) shattered
the structure of the Medieval Church by demanding that the
authority for doctrine and practice be the Scriptures rather than
popes or councils, and ignited the famous Protestant Reformation.
The Roman Catholic hierarchy could not refute his logic, so they
attempted to have him killed. But he was protected by Frederic. It
has been said that more books have been written about Luther than
about any other person except Jesus Christ. 164 pages, hard cover
