Description
"Galvanized by Erasmus's teaching on free will, Martin Luther wrote De servo arbitrio, or The Bondage of the Will, insisting that the sinful human will could not turn itself to God. In this first study to investigate the sixteenth-century reception of De servo, Robert Kolb unpacks Luther's theology and recounts his followers' ensuing disputes until their resolution in the Lutheran churches' 1577 "Formula of Concord.""--BOOK JACKET.
First Sentence
When Martin Luther composed the thirty-sixth article in his Assertion of All Articles in 1521, summarizing his critique of medieval theology as it had developed in the preceding five years, he repeated and retracted a thesis he had asserted three years earlier in Heidelberg: Free choice after [the fall of Adam into] sin is merely a term, and when [such choosing] does what it is able to do [facit, quod in se est], it commits moral sin.
