"In conversations about the Reformation, the name Martin Luther towers above all others. And rightly so. His work, vision, and writings set Christianity on a course of events that would forever change the way that most believers live and understand their faith. And yet, the Reformation was far more than Martin Luther. Around Luther were hundreds of people - fellow teachers and priests, politicians, artists, printers, and spouses - without whose activity...

Description
Galvanized by Erasmus' 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".

"Luther's development of a 'Wittenberg way' of practicing theology is seen reflected in a deep personal commitment to pastoral care of common Christians as well as his reading of the biblical text. Crucially, at the heart of all interpretation of the Bible, Luther placed the distinction between the 'gospel' God's unmerited gift of identity as his children, and the 'law', the expression of God's expectations for the performance of his children in good...
