Dr. Michael Horton offers an overview of how the orthodox Protestant Reformation affirmed the doctrine of the bondage of the will. He explains how this central teaching was lost within the Catholic Church and how the Enthusiast or Radical Reformation ultimately aligned with Rome in affirming free will. In contrast, both Martin Luther and John Calvin recognized that Scripture clearly teaches the truth that the human will is bound by sin.
