Publisher's Synopsis
Martin Luther On The Bondage Of The Will is a book written by Edward Thomas Vaughan in 1823. The book is a translation of a letter written by Martin Luther to his contemporary, Erasmus of Rotterdam, in 1525. In the letter, Luther argues against Erasmus' view that human beings have free will and can choose to follow God. Instead, Luther contends that humans are inherently sinful and cannot choose to follow God without divine intervention. The book is a significant work in the history of theology and has been influential in shaping Protestant beliefs about salvation and predestination. Vaughan's translation of Luther's letter is considered to be one of the most accurate and faithful translations available. The book is recommended for those interested in the history of theology and the Protestant Reformation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
