Combining a biography \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eof Erasmus with the larger theological debates and the intellectual history of his time, Christine Christ-von Wedel reveals many of previously unexplored influences on Erasmus, as well as his \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003einfluences on his contemporaries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eErasmus of Rotterdam\u003c\/i\u003e is a revised and considerably enlarged translation of Christ-von Wedel’s well-received 2003 study, originally published in German. Observing the influence of classical, biblical, patristic, scholastic, and late medieval vernacular and popular sources on Erasmus’ writing, the author provides comparisons with \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003etheologians Agrippa, Lefèvre d’Étaples, Eck, Luther, and Zwingli to demonstrate not only the singularity of Erasmus’ intellect, but also the enormous impact he had on the Reformation. The result is a lively picture of the man and his time, in which Erasmus emerges as both a devout Christian and a critical seeker of truth who conceded the ambiguities that he could \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003enot resolve.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press, Scholarly Publishing Division","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47052848922864,"sku":"9781442645080","price":66.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781442645080_p0.jpg?v=1763808523","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781442645080","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
