Volume 50 of the American Edition of Luther's Works is the third
and final volume of letters in this series; it presents 89 letters
written by Luther in the period from January 1532, to February 14,
1546, a date four days prior to Luther's death.
These are not devotional writings in the sense of being edifying
discourses or daily meditations for the cultivation of general
spiritual sensitivity. Rather they are concrete expressions of
evangelical faith and piety written by Luther the Pastor to deal
with specific and burning life situations. In a very real sense
they are "letters of spiritual counsel." The contents of this
volume cover the years between 1522 (the year after the Diet of
Worms) and 1545 (the year before Luther's death).
The seven pastoral writings presented in this volume are notable
for their lack of polemic. Although his very life was literally at
stake, Luther does not allude to his own situation, but subdues
himself to the message with which he was committed.
On the Bondage of the Will was considered by Luther himself as one
of his best writings. This particular treatise is a reply to
Erasmus' work On the Freedom of the Will. Students of Luther and
the Reformation period will welcome the helpful footnotes and many
excerpts from Erasmus' writings that accompany On the Bondage of
the Will.
