His teachings included important departures from Church dogma, including the claim that absolution of sin could not be purchased. Today his 99 Theses are among the most famous works in the world.The Bondage of the Will is Luthers reply to Erasmus regarding free will, and whether people can choose between good and evil. The argument was crucial to the Reformation and molded the main disagreement over free will vs. predestination.
