Gerhard O. Forde Knihy
Gerhard O. Forde bol americký luteránsky teológ, ktorý rozsiahlo písal o protestantskej reformácii a luteránskej teológii a tradícii. Po odchode do dôchodku v roku 1998 zostal ešte niekoľko rokov aktívny ako pedagóg a prednášateľ. Jeho dielo sa zameriava na hlboké pochopenie reformácie a jej trvalého vplyvu na teologické myslenie. Fordeho odkaz spočíva v jeho schopnosti jasne a prenikavo vysvetľovať zložité teologické koncepty.
Presented independently are the two loci by the author from Christian Dogmatics. In The Work of Christ, Forde examines "what God did in Jesus Christ" In Christian Life, he undertakes justification and sanctification. For students and scholars alike, this assembly of Forde's early work will broaden the impact of his thought for a new generation.

The Captivation of the Will provocatively revisits a perennial topic of controversy - human free will. Highly esteemed Lutheran thinker Gerhard O. Forde cuts to the heart of the subject by reexamining the famous debate on the will between Luther and Erasmus. Following a substantial introduction by James A. Nestingen that brings to life the historical background of the debate, Forde thoroughly explores Luther's Bondage of the Will and the dispute between Erasmus and Luther that it reflects. In the process of exposing this debate's enduring significance for Christians, Forde highlights its central arguments about Scripture, God, the will, and salvation in Christ. Luther recognized that the only solution for humans bound by sin is the forgiveness that comes from Christ alone. Convinced that this insight represents the heart of the Christian gospel, Forde concludes with ten sermons that proclaim the message of salvation through Christ alone while elegantly relating theological inquiry to everyday life.
