Human Freedom, Christian Righteousness: Philip Melanchthon's Exegetical Dispute with Erasmus of Rotterdam - Oxford Studies in Historical Theology
Wengert, Timothy J. (Associate Professor of History of Christianity, Associate Professor of History of Christianity, Lutheran Theological Seminary, Philadelphia)
In the 1520s, a battle raged between Luther and Erasmus over the freedom of the will. This book demonstrates that Philip Melanchthon - hardly a silent observer in the fray - was actively involved, especially in his 1528 commentary on Colossians. He rejected Erasmus's position while developing an independent, but compatible stance to Luther's own.
