Born in 1467, Erasmus was a brilliant scholar, and a proponent of Christian humanism, a movement which wedded Christian doctrine with the rediscovered philosophies of classical antiquity. During his life, Erasmus traveled widely, meeting and corresponding with many of the era's leading intellectuals. He was an early proponent of what would become the Protestant Reformation, but his disagreements with Martin Luther led him to maintain his affiliation with the Catholic Church. Erasmus was a prolific writer whose work included biblical criticism, social and religious commentary, and translations of classical texts. The author examines Erasmus's ideas on moral philosophy, his criticism of the Church, and his efforts to promote peace and understanding in an age marked by religious conflict. Ultimately, this book offers significant insights into the life and work of one of the most important figures of Western intellectual and religious history.
