| Summary: | This article deepens the relationship between Martin Luther's theology and the logical structure of free will. First, the article analyses different positions on free will, by organizing them into four general categories; these categories are subsets of a larger set, which corresponds to the logical structure that is common to these interpretations of free will. The article discusses these categories of free will from the perspective of Martin Luther's negation of free will: Luther does not simply negate free will, but he operates upon its logical structure. As such, Luther's position helps to recalibrate our approach to free will. |
