In Book 2, chapters 1-5 of the Institutes, Calvin clearly sets forth the doctrine of total depravity from Scripture, explains the bondage of the will to sin, and handily answers every objection one might raise against these doctrines. If anyone thinks man in his natural state has a perfectly free will, he or she should turn here to learn why the Reformed are persuaded otherwise.
Of course, that raises the question as to whether such a person wishes to learn, and hence risk being persuaded.
