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 Notes Print version record Subject Melanchthon, Philip, 1497-1560 Erasmus, Desiderius, -1536 SUBJECT Erasmus, Desiderius, -1536 fast Melanchthon, Philip, 1497-1560 fast Bible.
