For anyone looking to understand what led Christianity to be what it is today, the Grace Essentials Series provides affordable and clear-to-read editions of key Christian texts. Perfect for anyone wanting to better know the history of their belief. This small book will open up classic ideas of Grace that have stood the test of time.By grace alone, through faith alone - words no less relevant today than they were when Martin Luther first used them to shake the Roman Catholic church to its core. The Bondage of the Will, first published in 1525 and very possibly Luther's most famous work, argues against the idea that we choose salvation of our own free will. Born Slaves presents this work, retaining the distinctive style and voice of Luther, for a modern audience.
