This translation of Erasmus and Luther's writings on the nature of salvation is very helpful in understanding the origins of these positions.In a way this was a brutal read. Luther is so certain and so condemning of any person who gives any portion to freewill in relation to salvation. Erasmus takes the arguments directly on, however, with less personal attack than Luther who is quite an angry man. ( ) no reviews | add a review
