Galvanized by Erasmus' teaching on free will, Martin Luther wrote The Bondage of the Will, insisting that the sinful human will could not turn itself to God. Robert Kolb unpacks Luther's theology and recounts his followers' ensuing disputes until their resolution in the Lutheran churches' 1577 "Formula of Concord".

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".

Robert Kolb is Mission Professor of Systematic Theology, Emeritus, and Director of the Institute for Mission Studies at Concordia Seminary in St. Louis, Missouri. Among his many publications are The Book of Concord (coeditor, 2001), and Martin Luther: Confessor of the Faith (2009).
