Why doesn't the cross grant Christians unlimited permission to...

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.

Must the gospel message include a call for people to repent of their sins? "No," say Free Grace advocates. Is evidence of a changed life an important indication of whether a person is truly born again? "No, again," these advocates say.

Todos los temas que caen dentro del ámbito de la Teología Bíblica son prácticos, porque el mensaje de la Revelación-desde la noción de Dios hasta el estudio de "las últimas cosas"-es "doctrina de vida" y destinada a suministrar una "nueva vida" por la acción del Espíritu, y a vivificar toda la "praxis" de una persona ya regenerada. Pero hay dos materias especialmente prácticas: la Ética Cristiana que, por definición, se refiere a la conducta...
