What led Martin Luther to write The Bondage of the Will? This podcast explores the historical background and central message of one of Luther's most significant works. Written as a response to Erasmus, Luther's book defends the biblical truth that salvation is not the result of human choice or effort but rests entirely on God's gracious will. The Bondage of the Will delivers a message of profound comfort. God Himself has acted to save sinners through His Son, Jesus Christ, who takes away our sins and gives us eternal life.
