Items related to Erasmus (Outstanding Christian Thinkers series)
Desiderius Erasmus was one of the most influential writers of his time and widely acclaimed as the principal Northern European humanist. He was, however, not only a man of letters but also a shrewd observer of society, a sharp critic of the institutional church, and a scholar on the cutting edge of biblical studies. Although not a systematic philosopher or theologian, he left his stamp on the intellectual milieu of his time and was regarded by Catholic apologists as the inspirational source of the Lutheran Reformation. In this book, Erika Rummel introduces readers to Erasmus’ ideas on education, piety, social order, and the epistemology underpinning his thought.

....Erika Rummel, a prolific and well-respected scholar and Erasmus specialist, has with this small book produced a first-rate introduction to him as a Christian thinker. After two introductory chapters, she analyzes Erasmus's thought on poetry, the social order, biblical exegesis, and the importance of consensus in arriving at doctrinal truth. She examines that last topic through Erasmus's dispute with Luther. This book is highly recommended." —Theology Today, April 2006
