Book: Evangelical Free Will: Phillipp Melanchthon's Doctrinal Journey on the Origins of Faith
Contains a section on "Luther's Political Theology: 1522-1523": The monograph, "Evangelical Free Will: Phillipp Melanchthon's Doctrinal Journey on the Origins of Faith", was authored by Gregory Graybill, a minister in rural Pennsylvania with a DPhil from Oxford (Oxford University Press, July 2010).
Excerpt: "Meanwhile, within Melanchthon's writings in the early to mid-1520s, the influence of Luther's political theology of dualities could clearly be seen. ... Melanchthon continued formally to agree with Luther on the bondage of the will when it came to the decision to trust in Jesus for one's salvation. But as a result of the Wittenberg disturbances and the influence of Luther's political theology, Melanchthon now spoke of this bondage of the will solely in relation to the spiritual realm. In the temporal realm, he taught that the will was genuinely free and responsible for its decisions".
