Martin Luther

Click for PDF Bondage of the Will

Martin Luther (1483 – 1546) was a prolific teacher, writer and a leader for the Reformation. There is much written and spoken about this man of the faith, for God used him in very powerful ways.

One of his greatest works was The Bondage of the Will which was written as a response to a man named Erasmus. Luther was teaching, from Scripture, that man, unaided from God’s indwelling Spirit, was captive by a rebellious flesh.

Below are notes taken while reading through the book. They may help you keep track of what Luther is saying. Luther is not dealing with a topic so deep that it is difficult to understand, but because of the age of this writing, the one can get lost in the references.

This is a work every Christian should read at least once in their lives. Click the photo above for a PDF version. This work is in the public domain so very low cost and free Kindle and other e-reader versions can be found through an internet search.
