First published in 1525, Martin Luther's Bondage of the Will is acknowledged by theologians as one of the great masterpieces of the Reformation. It is Luther response to Desiderius Erasmus' Diatribe on Free Will, written in his direct and unique style, combining deep spirituality with humor. Luther writes powerfully about man's depravity and God's sovereignty. The crucial issue for Luther concerned what ability free will has, and to what degree it is subject to God's sovereignty. For Luther, this key issue of free will is directly connected to God's plan of salvation. Is man able to save himself, or is his salvation entirely a work of divine grace? This work is vital to understanding the primary doctrines of the Reformation and will long remain among the great theological classics of Christian history.Public Domain (P)2009 christianaudio.com Biographies Christianity Historical History Ministry & Evangelism Salvation Theory Theology

This book was very good. It articulates the reformed view in the simplest terms as possible. I hope many modern evangelicals take the time to read this. It is worth it.

Wow. Thank you

Wonderful and powerful book. Bizarre that a female is reading a book written by Martin Luther. Hard to get past that, however she is a good narrator... just not a good selection for this book.

Female Voice?

In regards to Luther, it is well spoken and hilarious. He holds back nothing in the way of sarcasm and verbal assault toward “friend” Erasmus. Yet Luther allows every consideration possible to him. Luther weighs every point against scripture and does the word justice in an impeccable manner. In regards to the narrator, she reads well and speaks clearly.

Luther rips “friend” Erasmus a new one

Disliked a woman narrator. One would need to read of Erasthmus, before understanding what diatribes were given, that Luther admonishes.

A greater understanding of the concept of Free Will

I had to exchange this book after about 40 minutes of listening because I felt like I was listening to a totally different language. The book is written in old English and the woman reading the book has a strong accent also.

I recommend trying to listen to it to absorb the content but if it's to challenging just exchange it.

with the actual content of the book I dont have much to say because I couldn't understand most of it. my only complaint is the narration and old English content.

fantastic material as is anything written by Martin Luther, but the voice is hard to listen to. she's a fine reader, but Luther should be read by a man, preferably with a German accent.

Wrong voice for Bondage.

God's word is the source of all truth. I am thankful He has chosen me to reveal Himself to me allowing me to know Him.
