Title: Assurance and Security: A Comparison of Luther’s Theology and Locke’s Political Philosophy on Human Freedom

In a 4- to 5-page paper that is unified, coherent, and well-developed, please do the following:
With a focus on their respective understandings of human freedom, compare and contrast the
role played by assurance (and related notions) in Luther’s theology with the role played by
security (and related notions) in John Locke’s political philosophy.
Your paper should advance a clear, concise thesis; it should develop a well-structured argument
in support of that thesis; and it should ground that development in textual quotation and
analysis focused solely on Luther’s “Preface to the Epistle of Saint Paul to the Romans” and John
Locke’s Second Treatise of Government.
