Written in 1525 in response to the writings of Erasmus, "The Bondage of the Will" conveys Luther's beliefs on the issue of free will during the Protestant Reformation.

This lecture from the eminent B. B. Warfield is as poignant as it is brief. Quickly he strikes to heart of the matter of how the theological student should approach their studies, that their studies of God should inflame their hearts toward him, not to be considered separate and merely academic. This is a necessary read for any formal student of theology in Bible college or in seminary.

You may think you are familiar with three of the most important Biblical figures: Abraham, Moses and St Paul. You may have a Hollywood image in your head of noble, heroic men, inspired by God and doing his holy work. Think again. It's time to discover the sordid truth. Abraham was the world's first recorded psychopath, willing to slaughter his own son as a human sacrifice to his "God". Moses was a prince of Egypt, and one of the followers of the heretic...
