{"product_id":"9781598569674","title":"The Bondage of the Will","description":"Acknowledged by theologians as one of the great masterpieces of the  Reformation, Martin Luther's Bondage of the Will was also Luther's  favorite work.  Luther responds to Desiderius Erasmus' Diatribe on  Free Will with the bluntness, genius, sarcasm, and spirituality that  were as much a part of his writing as they were of his colorful  personality.  Luther writes lucidly on the themes of man's inability  and God's ability, 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.  Luther's doctrine  of salvation pivoted on this key issue.  Is man able to save himself,  or is his salvation completely a work of divine grace?  This work  will long remain among the great theological classics of Christian  history.  Bondage of the Will was first published in 1525, eight  years after Luther penned his Ninety-Five Theses.","brand":"Hendrickson Publishers, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47177269346544,"sku":"9781598569674","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781598569674_p0.jpg?v=1763814179","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781598569674","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
