The Bondage Of The Will by Martin Luther
A polemical theological treatise arguing that human beings do not possess an autonomous free will capable of choosing salvation apart from God's initiative; the will is described as enslaved to sin and incapable of turning to God without sovereign grace. Written as a direct rebuttal to a contemporary defender of human free choice, it emphasizes Scripture, predestination, and justification by faith alone, rejecting the idea that human effort or merit contributes to salvation. The work combines doctrinal argumentation and sharp rhetoric to defend divine sovereignty and the necessity of grace for redemption.
